ODOT announces closing of Interstate 80 on-ramp, bridge over Mahoning

YOUNGSTOWN — On Wednesday, a major access ramp to Interstate 80 at a busy truck-stop interchange will close for roadway construction, and a bridge over the Mahoning River will close for replacement.

The entrance ramp from Salt Springs Road to Interstate 80 eastbound in Weathersfield Township will be closed through early July.

The detour will be Interstate 80 westbound to state Route 46 to Interstate 80 eastbound, the Ohio Department of Transportation has announced.

The construction to be done there is part of a $91.5 million project to widen Interstate 80 between state Routes 11 and 193, which is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2018.

Also on Wednesday, the Nelson Moser Road bridge over the Mahoning River in Warren Township will close for a $1.1 million replacement project, with the new bridge opening in late October or early November.

The detour will be Braceville Robinson Drive to state Route 82 to Diehl South Road to Park Road.

Tuesday, state Route 165 between state Routes 626 and 7 in Beaver Township will be closed through June 13 for a culvert replacement.
