Local and state officials have put together a revamped schedule for completion of road construction projects in Galion with an eye on the weather.
Ohio Department of Transportation officials indicate Portland Way south of Harding Way is expected to be complete and open to two-way traffic next week.
The bridge on Portland Way in front of Taylor’s Ice Cream Shoppe is slated to be closed Aug. 18 and remain closed for approximately 90 days. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained on Portland Way North on temporary pavement until sometime in October.
The paving portion of the project up to Heise Park Lane is expected to be completed by mid-November. Officials are hoping that Hesby Drive will be completed by Aug. 18 to be used as a detour route. City officials also plan to follow through with a temporary drive connecting Heise Park Lane to the Galion West parking lot for delivery vehicles.
