Scott Road, between State Route 103 and Lauden Road, will close Monday, April 13 for a bridge replacement project.

The detour route for eastbound motorists is Scott Road to SR 103, south on SR 103 to Kenestrick Road, east on Kenestric Road to Lauden Road, north on Lauden Road to Scott Road, and reverse for westbound motorists. The road is expected to reopen May 28, 2015.

This bridge over Nogle Ditch will be replaced as part of ODOT’s expanded Local Bridge Partnership Program. Begun in late 2013, the program provides $120 million to local governments to make bridges safer for the motoring public. The investment will repair or replace more than 230 county and city-owned bridges over a three year period ending in 2016.
