Construction is a necessary evil, but being late is not. To avoid wrenches in your plans this weekend, heed these two “major roadway” closures this weekend.
Beginning 7pm on Friday, February 22, West Third under the CSX rail line and W 5th Ave. between Olentangy River Rd and Perry St. will close.
Both will reopen at 5am on Monday, February 25.
Detour signs will get put in place redirecting traffic during the demolition.
