East Liverpool traffic impacts

Traffic impacts will continue through July 18 in East Liverpool. Motorists should expect possible travel delays from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. near the interchange of U.S. Route 30, state Route 39, and state Route 7 due to ongoing construction for the 9th Street overhead bridge replacement project. During this time, traffic will be stopped intermittently along U.S. Route 30/state Route 39, including ramp closures to state Route 7, which will be necessary while the contractor places the new beams on the 9th Street bridge.

Ramps impacted and detours

— U.S. Route 30 eastbound to state Route 7 southbound: The detour is to continue east on U.S. 30 eastbound to Jackson Street, turn left onto Jackson Street to return to U.S. 30 westbound for state Route 7 southbound.

— U.S. 30 westbound to state Route 7 southbound: The detour is to continue west on U.S. 30 westbound to the SR 170/Calcutta/E Palestine EXIT to state Route 170, state Route 170 to U.S. 30 east, U.S. 30 east back to state Route 7 south.
