The Ohio Department of Transportation has announced a new completion date of September 1, 2017 for the Barks Road project. The project had originally been planned to be completed at this point.
ODOT stated that the contractor encountered utility and weather delays early in the project.
While the re-construction of a bridge continues, Barks Road remains closed between Lake Boulevard and Forest Hill Drive. The posted detour is Barks Road EB to SR 423 SB to Marion-Cardington Road EB to SR 529 NB to Barks Road or reverse.
Note: a previous posting stated a completion date of August 28, but ODOT extended the timeline again.
