Months-long road closures beginning this week
(WKBN) — Multiple roads throughout Mercer and Columbiana counties will be closed starting Monday for some months-long construction projects. In Springfield Township, Blacktown Road will be closed between State Route 258 and Lee Road beginning Monday to fix the bridge over Interstate 79. The $1.4 million project will repair the concrete deck, add a new surface and pave both sides of the road. Crews will also fix the beams, piers and supports of the bridge. Detours will be posted on site. About 550 vehicles use the bridge every day. The project is expected to be finished by October. In Wilmington Township and New Wilmington Borough, work will begin Monday to improve State Route 158. Traffic will be limited to one lane on State Route 18 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. until mid-November. Flaggers will direct traffic through the work zone. The project costs $3.87 million and includes fixing the road, improving drainage, repairing structures, fixing the base, updating guard rails and painting road markings. In Columbiana County, State Route 39 will close Monday for the last phase of a big road repair project. The road will be closed from Steubenville Pike Road to Clarks Mill Road for 60 days. The project will fix almost five miles of S.R. 39 from Salineville to Steubenville Pike Road in Highlandtown.

A stretch of I-435 in JoCo will be completely shut down for the weekend. Here's why
Both directions of a stretch of Interstate 435 in Overland Park will be closed this weekend while work crews demolish a bridge along U.S. 69, the Kansas Department of Transportation said. The westbound Interstate 435 to southbound U.S. 69 ramp will also be closed to traffic during the work. The closure of eastbound and westbound lanes of the interstate, which comes as part of the U.S. 69 expansion project, will run from Quivira Road to Antioch Road, beginning 7 p.m. Friday. Weekend detours will be marked. The area will reopen to traffic by 6 a.m. Monday, the department said. During the closure, crews will demolish the northbound U.S. 69 overpass over Interstate 435. A long-term closure of the eastbound Interstate 435 to northbound U.S. 69 ramp and the northbound U.S. 69 to westbound Interstate 435 ramp, is scheduled to remain in place through October. Work on the U.S. 69 reconstruction project began in 2023 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of next year. The effort will include a widening of U.S. 69 with added express toll lanes between 103rd and 151st streets and interchange updates at U.S. 69 and 167th Street.
