Several construction projects are expected to affect state highways in Champaign County next week, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.
A new closure will begin Monday, August 17, on State Route 235 between U.S. 36 and Wolcott Road/Hellton Road.
The highway will be closed through Friday, August 21, while crews replace several culverts.
The posted detour will take motorists south on State Route 235, east on U.S. 36, south on State Route 56 and west on State Route 55.
Beginning Tuesday, August 18, U.S. 68 between State Route 55, also known as Lewis B. Moore Drive, and Springfield Pike will have lane restrictions from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
