39 paving projects sandwich Sugarcreek
SUGARCREEK – The village will be sandwiched by paving work on state Route 39 this summer, starting this week. Night-time paving continues along an 8-mile stretch of 39 west of the village, according to ODOT District 11 spokesperson Lauren Borell.
The road will be down to one lane at night with flaggers directing traffic. She says both lanes will remain open during the day. Officials hope scheduling the paving at night helps traffic flow in the popular tourist town.
Meanwhile, paving work along state Route 39 east of Sugarcreek continues. At this phase of the project, ODOT is using a temporary traffic signal where the road is down to one lane for pavement repairs. Once that phase is over, resurfacing will take place only at night. Both projects are scheduled to be completed this fall.
