ODOT plans maintenance on SR 696 bridge in 2021
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 1 seeks public comments concerning planned maintenance on a bridge in Richland Township in 2021.
The bridge is located at the State Route 696 and U.S. 30 interchange just east of the village of Beaverdam.
The maintenance work on this bridge will require the closure of the ramp that allows traffic to head east on U.S. 30 from State Route 696 and traffic to access State Route 696 from U.S. 30.
The closure of this ramp is expected to last two weeks during the summer of 2021. Signage will be placed near the interchange alerting the traveling public in advance of the closure.
