NEW PHILADELPHIA (WJER) (Nov. 9, 2026) – Drivers in Tuscarawas and Stark counties will encounter several new and ongoing road closures this week as the Ohio Department of Transportation continues late-season construction work.
The Barnhill Road bridge over U.S. 250 near Midvale remains closed due to structural damage. While ramps to and from U.S. 250 remain open, motorists cannot cross the bridge. Repairs are expected to continue through the end of 2026.
State Route 258 is also seeing multiple projects. Daytime closures between West Chester and High Hill Road are scheduled through Nov. 20 for tree-trimming work, while a separate closure near West Chester remains in place for a culvert replacement project.
In Stark County, State Route 212 west of Beach City will be closed Tuesday through Friday for railroad crossing repairs.
Meanwhile, the West Third Street bridge replacement project in Uhrichsville is nearing completion, although the roadway remains closed between Water Street and West Jay Street.
Drivers are advised to follow posted detour routes and allow extra travel time near construction zones.
