Traffic restrictions

COLUMBIANA

Traffic on state Route 45 will be restricted Monday at the Pine Lake Road area in Columbiana County for spot resurfacing.

ODOT’s contractor, Central-Allied Enterprises Inc. of Canton, will be paving about 550 feet of the road. Cost of the repairs totals about $25,000.

Traffic will be maintained with flaggers.

Work on Route 224

BOARDMAN

Beginning Monday, U.S. Route 224 between Boardman Park Drive and South Avenue will be reduced to one lane in each direction for pavement work.

In addition, various businesses on Route 224 will have intermittent driveway closures while the paving occurs. This work is weather-dependent. Delays are to be expected.

The job is part of a $5.2 million project to widen Route 224 through the addition of right turn lanes from Boardman Park Drive to just west of South Avenue.

The project also includes improvements to 15 traffic signals from Parkside Drive to Tiffany Boulevard.

The entire project is scheduled to be completed by the end of the summer.
