Heads up, drivers: A bit of construction-related hustle is about to hit the streets near Monroe and Lebanon. According to a bulletin from the Ohio Department of Transportation, State Route 741 will see some traffic shifts starting Thursday evening.

The S.R. 63 widening project is causing all the fuss, and from 7 p.m. on May 15, you'll experience lane closures on S.R. 741. Milcon Concrete Inc. is the squad handling the operation, which will involve nudging traffic to the newly laid pavement. They'll kick things off in the northbound lane, brushing away old lines and drawing up fresh ones, then flipping their work to the southbound side when the night grows old.

For those burning the midnight oil, flaggers will be on duty, steering the traffic. And, if everything goes according to plan, the path should be free and clear by the time Friday morning's first coffee is brewed at 6 a.m. Just a friendly reminder for motorists: your extra bit of caution will go a long way during these shifts.

For any additional details you're itching to know—like whether to pack an umbrella or wear shades while muscling through construction sites—the full range of traffic, weather, and construction updates for your navigational needs can be found at the Ohio Department of Transportation website.
