MANSFIELD — The Ohio Department of Transportation has issued this week’s road work schedule.
Richland County drivers are urged to use caution when traveling these roads:
State Route 97
SR 97, at its interchange with Interstate 71, will have two narrowed lanes of traffic in each direction. Crews are working on the berm, adjusting castings, and completing corrective work. Traffic will be maintained by flaggers. Please use caution while navigating through work zones. The project is expected to be complete July 2017.
US Route 30
US 30 westbound, just outside of the city of Mansfield on the 5th Ave. off ramp, is closed for a culvert replacement. This is an emergency project that began Tuesday, June 13 when a storm released inches of rain over a very short period of time. Crews will begin repairing the collapsed pipe and pavement washout. The project is expected to be completed July 2017.
State Route 545
SR 545, between Crall Rd. and Richland-Shale Rd., will be reduced to one lane of traffic as needed for pavement resurfacing. Traffic will be maintained with flaggers as needed. The project is expected to be complete June 2017.
State Route 546
SR 546, from the Knox County line to the City of Lexington, will have intermittent lane closures as crews on a chip and seal resurfacing project. Traffic will be maintained with flaggers as needed. The project is expected to be complete by October 2017.
