(Chillicothe, Ohio) – Motorists traveling into extreme southeast Ohio are being alerted to possible delays on multiple routes in Lawrence County.

These routes will be subject to traffic restrictions as crews begin the lengthy process of clearing and removing debris from state and U.S. routes following last week’s ice storm. These impacts will be in effect between 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM until Friday, February 26.

On two-lane routes, traffic will be maintained using flaggers, with short term closures possible.

On four-lane routes, traffic may be subject to shoulder closures, and single lane closures.

Earlier in the week, the Oakley Collins Bridge was closed for half-a-day due to the danger of ice falling onto vehicles from the bridge super-structure.

Motorists are advised to exercise caution and expect delays. Crews will be moving to different locations across multiple routes as needed.
