ODOT works with its contractors to reduce the size of work zones and open as many lanes as possible through Memorial Day weekend. Current road closures will remain closed until their estimated completion date. All work will resume Tuesday, May 28.

ASHLAND COUNTY – (Thursday, May 23, 2024) – The following construction projects are anticipated to affect highways in Ashland County next week. All outlined work is weather permitting and is subject to change.

U.S. Route 42 & State Route 302 intersection improvement – The U.S. 42 and State Route 302 intersection will be converted from the current two-way stop-controlled intersection into a single lane roundabout.

CONTINUING IMPACTS: Current Phase 1 Construction

  • SR 302 eastbound direction, from U.S. 42 to Township Rd 251/1080 intersection, remains closed for construction on the new roundabout. The intersection at U.S. 42 and SR 302 remains open, so motorists are able to travel along U.S. 42 during this phase of construction.
