MANSFIELD — The following construction projects are anticipated to affect roads in Richland County next week. All outlined work is weather permitting.
Richland Co. engineer Adam Gove announced Thursday that the following crossings will be closed by Ashland Railway for repairs in the next two weeks:
• Cairns Road, between Springmill North Rd and Leppo Rd, from 8 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 12 thru 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14
• Myers Road, between Rock Road and St Rt 39, from 8 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 15 thru 3 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 19
• Rock Road, between Myers Road and St Rt 39, from 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20 thru 3 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 22
In addition, U.S. Route 30’s major rehabilitation project continues. 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
There will be a traffic pattern change for eastbound traffic from SR 309 to SR 13. This will allow the eastbound U.S. 30/SR 39 entrance and exit ramps to open. Traffic will continue to be one lane with access to Trimble Road, SR 39, and SR 13.
Traffic east of SR 13 will remain as is.
To complete the traffic switch, the eastbound U.S. 30/Trimble Road entrance and exit ramps will be closed overnight, from 9:00 p.m. till 3:00 a.m., beginning early next week to have as minimal impacts to traffic as possible and to avoid rush hour traffic.
CONTINUING IMPACTS
The westbound pattern will consist of maintaining one lane of traffic westbound, from just east of 5th Avenue to SR 13, and two lanes of traffic westbound, from SR 13 to just west of SR 309.
