The Ohio Department of Transportation and the Hancock County Engineer’s office are teaming up to enhance safety along State Route 15.

Next week, work will begin to permanently remove access to State Route 15 from County Road 8.

Chris Hughes, District 1 deputy director, said the closure will redirect traffic to interchange access points located nearby at U.S. 68 and State Route 37, which are a safer way to enter and exit the busy highway.

Removal of the median pavement will begin on Tuesday, November 19, and State Route 15 will have passing lane closures in both directions.

All access to State Route 15 from County Road 8 will close on Monday, December 2.
