Lane restriction on I-80 eastbound in Austintown to occur tonight

AUSTINTOWN — The Ohio Department of Transportation announced that starting at 8 p.m. today, Interstate 80 eastbound between state Route 46 and Salt Springs Road will be reduced to one lane as traffic is switched to the outside lanes.

This condition will remain in place through 6 a.m. Thursday.

At that time, traffic on I-80 eastbound will be in a new pattern with two lanes maintained and traffic shifted using the far right lane and right shoulder until further notice.

The ramp from state Route 11 northbound to I-80 eastbound is closed through mid-November for a bridge replacement and widening.

The detour is I-680 southbound to state Route 711 northbound, until further notice.

ODOT also said I-80 between the Ohio Turnpike and state Route 46 will have various daily lane restrictions for pavement repairs. This work is part of a $91.5 million project to widen I-80 between state Routes 11 and 193. The entire project is scheduled to be completed by late July 2018.
