JACKSON COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Ohio Department of Transportation officials have announced that construction is scheduled to begin Wednesday morning on a repair project along U.S. 35 in Jackson County.
Crews and equipment will repair the ledge and hillside adjacent to U.S. 35 following a rock slide that occurred between the 6- and 7-mile markers of the route’s eastbound lanes.
On Wednesday, Feb. 10, a rock slide occurred near Caves Road, approximately 6 miles east of the Jackson-Ross County line. Upon field review by ODOT engineers and geologists, it was determined that other rocks or boulders along the hillside may be unstable and should be removed. This led to a Type A Emergency contract being awarded and allowing construction to move forward this week.
Currently, U.S. 35 is reduced to one lane in the eastbound direction; however, crews from Stable Construction will close the route’s passing lane at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17, to remove the largest rocks from the ledge.
The route will be closed during operational hours only, with it likely to reopen to one lane of traffic during the evening. At other times during this project, the route will continue to be reduced to one lane of traffic and subject to intermittent periods of closure for up to 30 minutes.
While U.S. 35 East is closed, traffic will be detoured by way of U.S. 35 at Chillicothe to U.S. 23 South to Piketon, to S.R. 32 East to Jackson to U.S. 35. Although it is anticipated that the route will be reopened to one lane of traffic by Wednesday evening, it is recommended that motorists follow this detour to avoid possible delays at other times during construction.
All work is expected to be completed by Wednesday, Feb. 24, and westbound traffic should not be affected by the restrictions and/or closures.
