Preliminary work is expected to begin on Monday, July 6, for the U.S. 224/Lincoln Highway roundabout project, along with preliminary work for a nearby bridgework and a restricted crossing U-turn (RCUT).

The preliminary work is expected to have no impact on traffic. The actual schedule of work and closure dates will be announced soon by the Ohio Department of Transportation.

Along with building a roundabout at the U.S. 224/Lincoln Highway intersection, crews will rehabilitate the U.S. 224 bridge over the railroad between U.S. 30 and Lincoln Highway, including replacing the deck, abutments and painting the bridge over the railroad. Construction of a restricted crossing U-turn at the intersection of U.S. 30 and John Brown Road will occur as well.
