RELATED: Massive Ohio 747 road improvement is here
Willow Ridge Drive on the west side of Ohio 747 will be closed Wednesday, Feb. 14, to install a 42-inch storm sewer. The street will be closed between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Wynds of Liberty residents will need to enter and exit their subdivision using Princeton or Millikin Roads during this Wednesday’s closure.
A 30-day closure of Willow Ridge Drive immediately west of 747 will also occur, most likely in mid-spring, for drainage, curb, and pavement tie-in.
The $7 million project will widen about one mile of the heavily traveled, two-lane stretch of road to five lanes — two northbound, two southbound, and a center turn lane — from Princeton Road to Millikin Road. Right turn lanes will be added on northbound 747 to eastbound Princeton Road and on eastbound Millikin Road to southbound 747.
Motorists are encouraged to check the BCEO web site as the best source for possible date and status changes concerning this closure – www.bceo.org/roadclosings .
