The Ohio Department of Transportation proposes culvert maintenance / replacement on eight culverts throughout Trumbull County.

The projects planned include:

• U.S. Route 422 between Trumbull Avenue and Interstate 80 in Girard. A minimum of one lane of traffic in each direction shall be maintained at all times during project construction.

• State Route 82 between Newton Falls Braceville Road and Bailey Anderson Road in Braceville. Route 82 at this location will be closed / detoured for a period not to exceed 14 consecutive calendar days. The official detour route for this closure will utilize state Routes 534 and 5. This closure will not occur simultaneously with the other state Route 82 closures in Vienna and Brookfield.

• State Route 82 / state Route 193 interchange (east side) in Vienna. The state Route 193 on-ramp to eastbound Route 82 will be closed / detoured for a period not to exceed 28 consecutive calendar days. The official detour route for this closure will utilize westbound state Route 82 and southbound state Route 11.

At the same time, the Route 82 westbound exit ramp to Route 193 also will be closed / detoured for a period not to exceed 28 consecutive calendar days. The official detour route for this closure will utilize westbound Route 82, southbound Route 11 and eastbound Route 82.

• State Route 82 westbound between Bedford and Addison roads in Brookfield. Route 82 westbound will be closed / detoured for a period not to exceed 21 consecutive calendar days. The official detour route for this closure will utilize U.S. Route 62, Chestnut Ridge Road, and state Route 7. This closure will not occur simultaneously with the other Route 82 closures in Braceville and Vienna.

• State Route 305 between U.S. Route 422 and state Route 534 in Southington. Route 305 at this location will be closed / detoured for a period not to exceed 14 consecutive calendar days. The official detour route for this closure will utilize U.S. Route 422 and Route 534.
