Welcome back and thanks for reading The Bottom Line! Today I wanted to make sure I passed around the Ohio Turnpike Travel Advisory for 7/25 and 7/26 2011…Special Thanks to David Bartosic from the Ohio Trucking Association for sharing…
Travel Advisory – Ohio Turnpike construction underway
Berea, Ohio – On Monday, July 25th and Tuesday, July 26th, the Ohio Turnpike will be conducting a traffic drag (Rolling Roadblock) to erect a natural gas pipeline over the Ohio Turnpike at milepost 179.5 in Summit County. Traffic will be blocked in the vicinity of the bridge to safely allow the installation of this structure. A rolling roadblock will slow traffic to between 5 and 10 miles per hour for approximately 40 – 45 minutes. They will begin approximately 20 miles from the work zone in order to provide sufficient time for construction. Due to the size of the crane required, traffic will be reduced to only one lane at the construction site. LONG DELAYS are expected for the traveling public. (See further explanation below.)

MONDAY, JULY 25TH: ROLLING ROADBLOCK WESTBOUND AT MILEPOST 200 NEAR THE PORTAGE SERVICE PLAZA WILL BEGIN AT 12:00 (MIDNIGHT) AND LAST UNTIL 12:45 A.M.
