OHIO — The Ohio Department of Transportation is advising motorists to expect continued traffic impacts across Logan County this week as multiple road construction and paving projects remain underway.
The most significant impact is the ongoing closure of State Route 274 between State Route 235 and State Route 117. The closure is expected to remain in place for approximately 150 days while crews construct a new roundabout at the intersection of State Route 274 and U.S. 33.
Drivers traveling through the area are being directed to follow the posted detour using State Route 235, State Route 708, U.S. 33 and State Route 117.
Several additional roadways throughout the county will also be subject to intermittent single-lane restrictions for paving operations. Traffic will be maintained by flaggers between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. on State Route 235 between State Route 720 and the Hardin County line, State Route 274 between the Rushsylvania corporation limits and State Route 273, and State Route 366 between State Route 235 and U.S. 33.
From 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., motorists should also expect lane restrictions on State Route 117 between the Hardin County line and State Route 274, State Route 245 between the Mad River east of West Liberty and the Champaign County line, State Route 287 between State Route 245 and U.S. 33, and State Route 638 between U.S. 68 and Township Road 51.
In addition, intermittent lane restrictions will continue on U.S. 33 at the State Route 55 bridge as crews replace bridge joints.
ODOT encourages drivers to slow down, watch for workers and equipment, and allow extra travel time when driving through construction zones.
