BOARDMAN — If you’ve ever tried it, you know that heading to Boardman on U.S. Route 224 from Interstate 680 southbound can be a trying experience. Relief may be on the way in the form of a proposed Ohio Department of Transportation District 4 project scheduled for 2013.

ODOT plans an open house regarding the proposal from 5 to 7 p.m. today at the township government center, 8299 Market St. to review the project. The proposal calls for a change to the interchange from southbound I-680 to the westbound Route 224 exit ramp. The ramp will be moved about 350 feet east.
