Staff report
YOUNGSTOWN
The Ohio Department of Transportation announced its weekly upcoming closures across the Mahoning Valley.
That includes the closure of Raccoon Road in Canfield, just north of state Route 11, from July 27 through mid-August for roadway widening. The detour will be U.S. Route 224 to state Route 46 to U.S. Route 62. The work is part of the $6.5 million project to replace and widen the U.S. 224 bridge over state Route 11.
In Youngstown, the entrance ramp from Himord Avenue to U.S. 62 westbound is closed through October for bridge construction. The detour is Lane Avenue to Rayen Avenue to Albert Street. Also, the Route 62 bridge between South Avenue, and Himrod Avenue, over the Mahoning River, Poland Avenue, Cedar Street, and the railroad, is reduced to one lane in each direction for bridge repairs.
This work is part of a $17 million project to repair those bridges and is scheduled to be completed by November 2016.
