Heads up, Solon residents and commuters: you'll need to plan for a small detour at the end of this month. According to a social media post from the City of Solon Ohio, Cannon Rd will see a temporary road closure to facilitate much-needed concrete repairs.
Specifically, the work is scheduled to begin on the morning of January 28 and is expected to be completed by the afternoon of January 30. During this time, the stretch of Cannon Rd running beneath the railroad bridge will not be passable, with the city directing traffic to use alternative routes shown on a posted detour map. While a necessary inconvenience, such closures promise prolonged safety and infrastructure integrity for the bustling traffic of everyday life.
The timing of the closure appears to be planned to minimize disruption, avoiding business hours and weekdays as much as possible. However, drivers should anticipate potential delays around the area and allow some extra travel time when making their way through Solon around these dates. For those unfamiliar with the detour routes, it's advisable to check out the city's provided map ahead of time or set up your GPS to ensure a smooth detour experience.
