Truck detour on Route 45

WELLSVILLE — The Ohio Department of Transportation is posting a detour for truck traffic effective today on state Route 45 just outside of Wellsville. The road has been reduced to one lane since late April due to a landslide. Truck traffic will be detoured north on Route 7 to U.S. Route 30, then west on U.S. 30 back to Route 45 and reverse.

One lane of traffic will continue on state Route 45 with temporary traffic signals. Officials were unsure how long repairs would take.
