GALION―Work will resume on the State Route 598 widening project, tentatively scheduled for Thursday, May 18. Kokosing Construction will apply the final layer of asphalt beginning in the northbound lane. After the northbound lane is complete, paving will flip to the southbound lane.
Drivers should note that State Route 598 will be reduced to one lane of traffic within the work zone (Carter Drive to Brandt Road). Traffic will be maintained with flaggers, but expect delays or avoid driving in this area.
During the week of May 22, intersections and driveways will be paved. Pavement striping will follow.
The project is estimated to be completed in June.
