Canfield bridge replacement will impact fair traffic
CANFIELD, Ohio (WKBN) – We are learning more about a year-long bridge replacement project in Canfield that is coming up for the spring construction season.
The Ohio Turnpike bridge at Boardman-Canfield Road/U.S. Route 224 will be replaced during the 2025 and 2026 construction seasons. The existing bridge will be replaced in phases and traffic will be maintained during the project.
According to the Ohio Turnpike Commission, the contractor will begin having access to the site on March 3 and work may begin after that date, however, a detailed schedule has not been submitted yet.
The bridge will be replaced in two phases — the east side and the west side. Two lanes of traffic in each direction on Route 224 will change to one lane on the exiting westbound lanes of the bridge. Once the traffic pattern is set, the east side of the bridge will be removed and replaced. Then phase two can start with traffic moving onto the new lanes and work on the west side of the bridge will begin.
Access to all businesses will be maintained.
With the bridge continuing through the Canfield Fair, which is over Labor Day weekend, drivers might want to use the State Route 11 interchange at U.S. Route 224, which has direct access to the fairgrounds.
The bridge project is expected to be done before Aug. 16, 2026.

Highway robbery: Scammers bring back classic scam
(WHTM) — Ever get a text message saying you owe money for a toll? The messages know how to get your attention. They claim you have an outstanding traffic ticket and that if you don't pay immediately, you'll lose your registration and driving privileges. That got drive Scott Ruby's attention. 'I know that they can be awfully confusing to people, especially my age, who take this stuff for truth,' Ruby said. As summer returns, so does this infamous scam. States are warning drivers they will never text demanding money. The bottom line: Don't respond to unsolicited texts. Easy enough for Ruby — 'I owe so much that I ignore them anyway.' If you're ever unsure, call the state's agency directly at its official number to verify. Find more stories on Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

State police release details in Derby rollover that closed I-91 South
DERBY, Vt. – A part of Interstate 91 in Derby was closed due to a dump truck rollover at about 10:03 a.m. Monday morning. On Monday afternoon, Vermont's Department of Motor Vehicles released more information about the accident. The black Western Star dump truck, according to state investigators, weighed about 68,000 pounds, or 34 tons. It was carrying a load of sand northbound on I-91 past Exit 28 in Derby when its left steer axle tire failed in the front of the vehicle. The driver, from Wheelock, VT, lost control of it as a result, but sustained only minor injuries.

I-91 North remained open with one lane, but I-91 South was fully closed while responders worked to move the vehicle and clean up liquid that was seen to be leaking from it. One lane of I-91 South reopened after just 25 minutes. The highway then had to be closed again for 15 minutes shortly after 1:00 p.m. as work continued to remove the truck from the roadway. As of 6:33 p.m, there are still lanes closed on the highway and motorists may experience delays, but another full closure is not anticipated. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
