Construction is under way for a slide repair project on S.R. 217, between the route’s intersections with S.R. 378. The route is reduced to one, 10-foot lane, and traffic is being maintained with temporary signals. The project is scheduled to be completed in mid-fall. (#18-0169)

Preliminary operations are under way for a bridge replacement on S.R. 217. The project site is located between C.R. 6 (Deering Bald Knob Road) and C.R. 61A (Drift Creek Road), two miles east of S.R. 141. Currently, traffic is being maintained by flaggers when crews are at work; however, throughout most construction the route will be closed, and motorists will be detoured via C.R. 54 (Dog Fork Road), S.R. 141 and S.R. 378. A date to close the route has yet to be determined. (#17-0403)

U.S. 52 is reduced to one lane through the village of Hanging Rock, between the C.R. 23 (Ohio Furnace Road) interchange and Rock Avenue, for a resurfacing project. Throughout construction, traffic will be maintained in a minimum of one lane in each direction, and variable speed limit will be in effect. The project is scheduled to be completed in late summer. (#18-0140)
