Turnpike Construction To Stop Fri for July 4

TURNPIKE MAINLINE I-76:

To prepare for the surge of travelers over the July 4^th holiday, Turnpike maintenance and construction work will be suspended across the Turnpike system starting 3 p.m. Friday (6/29) through 6 a.m. Monday (7/9) requiring all lanes remain open to traffic except in emergencies.

Construction work can be performed behind barrier.

The contractor will resume other associated overhead structural work that requires intermittent slow moving traffic paces with stoppages or single-lane closures at a later date. Notifications will follow.

STATE ROUTE 29: 

Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. the contractor will continue erecting beams across Atwater Drive. This will require the contractor to use periodic stoppages of up to 15 minutes impacting traffic entering and exiting the business park at Rt. 29. Local police will assist with traffic control.

Installation of highway lighting and signal conduits across Rt. 29 completed.

YELLOW SPRINGS ROAD:

The contractor anticipates overhead structural work in the future will again require traffic to be detoured. We will continue to keep you informed in advance of any planned traffic restrictions that will impact motorists on Yellow Springs Road.  

HOWELLS ROAD:

Paving work north of the Turnpike has been completed and no further road restrictions are required at this time.
