Several new and continuing road construction projects are set to impact travel in Logan County over the coming weeks.
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is urging drivers to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.
All work is weather-dependent.
New Impacts
State Route 47 Closure- State Route 47 will be closed between the Logan/Shelby County line and County Road 34 beginning Monday, July 28, through Friday, August 1. Crews will be replacing a culvert during this time. Detour: State Route 47 to State Route 65 to West State Route 274 to North State Route 235.
Continuing Work
State Route 47 Lane Restrictions- Drivers can expect lane restrictions on State Route 47 between County Road 35 and Township Road 21A from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through September 2025, as crews wrap up work related to a previous bridge replacement.
State Route 273, State Route 274, and State Route 292 Lane Restrictions- Repaving work continues on three major state routes. Each will be intermittently reduced to a single lane from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with flaggers directing traffic:
- State Route 273 between U.S. 68 and the Union/Logan County line
- State Route 274 between U.S. 68 and Sandusky Street
- State Route 292 between Hamilton Street and State Route 47
State Route 273 Bridge Work- State Route 273 between Oakridge Drive and Shady Lane (on Long Island at Indian Lake) remains reduced to one lane through October for a bridge replacement project. Traffic is being maintained by a temporary traffic signal.
Upcoming Closures
State Route 274 Closure- State Route 274 will be closed between County Road 35 and Township Road 53 beginning Monday, August 4, through Friday, August 8, for culvert replacement. Detour: West State Route 274 to State Route 65 to West State Route 47 to North State Route 235.
State Route 559 Closure- State Route 559 will also close for culvert work starting Monday, August 4, through Friday, August 8, between County Road 44 and Township Road 258. Detour: East State Route 245 to State Route 287 to State Route 559.

The Logan County Engineer’s Office is alerting drivers to upcoming fog sealing work that could cause daytime delays on two county roads.
First, crews will be working on County Road 153 on Monday and Tuesday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting:
– Monday: From the Zanesfield Corporation limits to State Route 292
– Tuesday: From County Road 28 to the Middleburg Corporation limits
Then on Wednesday, fog sealing is scheduled for County Road 10 in two sections:
– From U.S. 33 to the Zanesfield Corporation limits
– From County Road 55 to U.S. 33
Thru traffic will not be allowed during work hours on any of these dates.
Local and emergency vehicles will be guided through by flaggers.
Drivers are urged to plan ahead, use alternate routes, and slow down in work zones.
Fresh fog seal will leave roads with temporary unmarked no-passing zones.
For safety and proper curing, speeds should be kept below 20 mph on the first day and under 30 mph for the following week.
Fog seal helps lock in stone, reduce road noise, and improve winter road conditions by absorbing more heat.
All work is weather-dependent.
The Logan County Engineer’s Office thanks the public for its continued patience and cooperation.
