US 30 - Mansfield, OH

[seicer]

I am assuming high speed traffic on US 30 (mostly exceeding the 60 MPH limit) has something to do with it. It's safer to install median cuts down the road for traffic to U-turn, or close the intersections entirely and let traffic use an adjoining intersection. OH 603 is an example of a mess, with a bridge to the west and a grade to the east. Building extended turn lanes and a wider median wouldn't be cost efficient. I wish ODOT would do this for a few intersections along US 52 in southern Ohio.

NEW IMPACTS

Westbound traffic has been shifted into its new pattern and will remain in this configuration for the duration of the construction season.
The westbound pattern will consist of maintaining one lane of traffic westbound, from just east of 5th Avenue to SR 13, and two lanes of traffic westbound, from SR 13 to just west of SR 309.

Eastbound traffic shift will occur Monday, March 28 after 6:00 p.m., weather permitting.
The eastbound pattern will consist of maintaining one lane of traffic eastbound, from just west of SR 309 to SR 13, and two lanes of traffic eastbound, from SR 13 to just east of 5th Avenue.
The traffic along U.S. 30 eastbound will only have access to Trimble Road and SR 13. The ramps will be closed to SR 39, SR 545, and 5th Avenue, and will not reopen until mid-September 2022.

Once both directions of traffic have been switched, the project will be in this traffic pattern until mid-September 2022.
The U.S. 30 eastbound exit ramp to SR 39 will close Monday, March 28. The detour route will be to continue eastbound on U.S. 30 to the SR 13 exit, turn right onto Longview Avenue west to SR 13 north, take the SR 13 entrance ramp to U.S. 30 west, and continue west on U.S. 30 to the exit ramp to SR 39. Estimated reopening: September 2022

The SR 39 entrance ramp to U.S. 30 eastbound will close Monday, March 28. The detour route will be to continue on SR 39 north to the SR 39 entrance ramp to U.S. 30 west, travel west on U.S. 30 to the Trimble Road exit, turn left on Trimble Road and re-enter onto the Trimble Road entrance ramp to U.S. 30 east. Estimated completion: September 2022

The U.S. 30 eastbound exit ramp to 5th Avenue will close Monday, March 28. The detour route will be to continue eastbound on U.S. 30 to the Reed Road exit, turn left on Reed Road, travel north on Reed Road to the entrance ramp to U.S. 30 west, travel west on U.S. 30 to the 5th Avenue exit ramp. Estimated completion: September 2022

The 5th Avenue entrance ramp to U.S. 30 east will close Monday, March 28. The detour route will be to continue north on 5th Avenue to the U.S. 30 westbound entrance ramp, travel on U.S. 30 west to the SR 13 exit, turn left on SR 13 to Longview Avenue, and take the Longview Avenue east entrance ramp to U.S. 30 eastbound. Estimated completion: September 2022
Both eastbound and westbound traffic will be separated by portable concrete barrier throughout the length of the project. Lane widths will be 11' throughout the work zone.
Estimated completion of entire project: May 2023

The last of the button copy on that stretch will be going as the eastbound side gets its turn.  Westbound the new signs are almost all up, with exit numbers now (based on mileage to the Indiana line on 30).  A couple weeks ago it was the old status quo eastbound with the old button copy still kicking, but that will soon go.

All the way out to Reed Road to reverse to get to 5th St. is a long ways.  I guess they don't want people cutting over to the left on US 42 NB to turn back onto 30 WB, and the Laver Road interchange is confusing enough to those unfamiliar somehow, but wow that's a ways out of the way.  I can see people reversing sooner anyway on their own.
