The Ohio Department of Transportation has issued a project-specific update on the status of the work being undertaken on US Route 30. According to ODOT:
U.S. 30, from State Route 309 to just east of the 5th Avenue ramps, will have single lane closures for a major rehabilitation project. Traffic will always be maintained.
NEW IMPACTS
U.S. 30 eastbound, at the structure over Bowman Street, will close Friday, July 2 at 3:00 a.m. for approximately two hours. Crews will be completing pavement repair work. The detour route for motorists traveling on U.S. 30 eastbound will be to take the SR 39 exit to SR 39 south to Longview Avenue west to SR 13/U.S. 30 eastbound entrance ramps. Estimated reopening of U.S. 30 eastbound: Friday, July 2, 2021 at 5:00 a.m.
