<body><div>Article presented by Classic Brands and Herlihy Moving &amp; Storage …Beginning this Sunday, the Ohio Department of Transportation is preparing for traffic changes on North Bridge Street in Chillicothe. A message sign on the south side of the bridge warns of “Traffic Change 11/15-11/18” and “Expect Long Delays”.Here are some details from ODOT District 9 Information Officer, Mikaela Bruning.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3ZFA1M_1H4Gvyn700" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3ZFA1M_1H4Gvyn700" width="695" height="521" ><figcaption>Some major changes are coming as we get both directions of Bridge Street re-opened, as promised, ahead of Thanksgiving.</figcaption></figure><blockquote>Weather ChallengesCrews will need to paint temporary lane markings for the new traffic pattern. Because temperatures must be warmer for the paint to properly be applied and dry, the work must be done during the day and cannot be completed at night.</blockquote>Major Traffic Delays ExpectedBeginning at 7am Sunday, crews will begin prepping the concrete for painting the lane markings on the new northbound lanes for Bridge Street between Riverside Drive and Marietta Road. Traffic will be reduced to a single northbound lane during this operation, so expect long traffic delays.Monday, crews will continue working to restripe the roadway and hope to have traffic moving in both directions on Bridge Street again by Monday evening. Again, we expect major delays during this operation.On Tuesday and Wednesday, crews will be re-striping the area from Marietta Road to Chillicothe Mall/Zane Plaza. This will reduce Bridge Street to one lane in each direction. Once again, major traffic delays are anticipated during this operation.Motorists are reminded to not enter signalized intersections until they can safely clear the intersection. Blocking intersections will cause additional delays along this busy corridor.The goal is to have all lanes in a final configuration for the winter by Thursday morning. This will include three lanes in both directions.Changes at the Stewart Road intersectionNew traffic signals have not yet been installed at the intersection of Bridge Street and Stewart Road, so the intersection will not yet function at an optimal level. However, the final traffic pattern will be in place once all lanes reopen on Bridge Street. This means that north and southbound traffic will be permitted to turn left from Bridge Street. All traffic from the Shawnee Square shopping center and Stewart Road must turn right to enter Bridge Street. So, traffic heading north will enter Bridge Street from the Walmart/Kohl’s/Rocas/Nourse side and traffic heading south will enter Bridge Street from the Shawnee Square side.PostThanksgiving ImpactsThere will be additional lane closures on the southbound side after Thanksgiving to allow crews to remove the temporary on-ramp to westbound U.S. 35, install curb and gutter and guardrail. This is expected to begin on Monday, November 30 and take three days to complete to allow the concrete to fully cure. All work is weather dependent.Additional intermittent daytime lane closures may be required through mid-December, but no additional full closures are planned.Additional work will happen in the spring of 2027, though it will be much less impactful than we’ve seen over the last two years. All work is expected to be completed next summer.</div></body>
