This time of the year typically brings a great deal of road construction activity as projects near completion prior to colder temperatures in the fall. In this week’s update from District 3 of the Ohio Department of Transportation, we share news of ongoing projects in Ashland, Crawford, and Richland Counties and also project updates.
