New Philadelphia, Ohio (Monday, July 26, 2010) – Work will begin Wednesday, July 28th, to install new highway signs along the four-lane sections of U.S. Route 30 and State Route 11 in Columbiana County.

Over nine miles of U.S. 30 and over 14 miles of SR 11 will get new highway signs installed.

Traffic will be maintained during this work; however, some daytime lane closures are expected.

ODOT's contractor for this $715,257 project is Cleveland Barricading Systems LLC, from Hinckley, Ohio, and the completion date is October 30, 2010.

ODOT reminds motorists to SLOW DOWN for the "Cone Zone;" turn on headlights and drive carefully in work zones.  Drive responsibly for your safety and the safety of the highway workers.  Remember, fines in work zones are doubled for not obeying traffic signs. Minimize distractions – turn OFF cell phones in construction zones.  Remember to always buckle up.
