The Ohio Department of Transportation has announced new traffic impacts for the ongoing U.S. Route 30 bridge replacement project west of State Route 98 in Crawford County. The project will involve several upcoming ramp closures and long-term lane restrictions, with the entire bridge replacement expected to be completed by August 2027.
Why it matters
The U.S. 30 bridge replacement is a critical infrastructure project that will improve travel and safety for drivers in the region, but the construction work will cause significant disruptions to traffic patterns over the next several years. Commuters and travelers need to be aware of the upcoming ramp closures and lane restrictions to plan their routes accordingly.
The details
The project involves replacing the east and west bridges over the Norfolk Southern Railroad. Crews are currently continuing median crossover and shoulder reconstruction work. New impacts begin on Thursday, April 9, when the State Route 98 entrance ramp to U.S. 30 westbound will close for two days for underdrain work. Also on April 9, the SR 4 entrance ramp to U.S. 30 eastbound will close for shoulder reconstruction, lasting through April 18. Further disruptions are scheduled for later in April and into May, including a four-day closure of the SR 98 westbound ramp starting April 16 and a long-term 188-day closure of the SR 4 eastbound ramp beginning May 11.
- On Thursday, April 9, the State Route 98 entrance ramp to U.S. 30 westbound will close for two days.
