BRIDGEPORT, Ohio – U.S. Route 40 in the Bridgeport and Brookside areas of Belmont County reopened Tuesday afternoon following months of culvert work, according to Lauren Borell, Public Information Officer for ODOT District 11.
Borell tells River News Network that all lanes are open but some flagging may occur over the next week while the contractor completes the remaining work on the project.
One lane of the road was closed while work was underway, causing major traffic delays. West of this project, the closure of the Blaine Hill Bridge still stymies drivers. ODOT said last week that it anticipates construction of the replacement bridge there to begin in 2027.
