14 crashes in 4 years prompt ODOT push to close Route 16 intersection
The Ohio Department of Transportation is petitioning to completely close but permit emergency access at River Road and State Road 16 in a bid to keep commuters safe . The intersection poses risks to drivers, particularly since there isn’t a merge lane for people turning onto Route 16 from River Road to enter traffic. ODOT officials believe closing the intersection could help prevent crashes. ODOT spokesperson Chas Cosgrave told The Advocate the intersection would have gated access, prohibiting commuters from turning onto River Road from the highway but allowing emergency personnel to do so. The agency was leaning towards that option, believing it to be the safest . The intersection is in Granville Township and 7 miles west of Newark. Licking County Commissioners will view the intersection at noon Oct. 30 before holding a public hearing at 1 p.m. inside the county administration building. They will listen to testimony and evidence from residents, ODOT officials and staff before deciding on the proposal.

Barnhill Road bridge in Midvale closed after accident
The Barnhill Road bridge over U.S. Route 250 in Midvale is closed to all traffic due to structural damage, according to a release from the Ohio Department of Transportation. All lanes of U.S. Route 250 will remain open, as will the ramps to/from U.S. Route 250 at the interchange, though drivers cannot cross the bridge. A vehicle hauling heavy machinery struck the bridge several weeks ago, resulting in damage to several beams and reducing traffic to one lane with temporary signals. Following regular monitoring and inspections, ODOT inspectors discovered significant cracking on one of the damaged bridge beams, prompting the immediate full closure on Oct. 13 out of an abundance of caution. A reopening date is unknown, as ODOT continues to work on a permanent repair solution. This article originally appeared on The Times-Reporter: Barnhill Road bridge in Midvale closed after accident
