The opening of U.S. 68 within the village of Arlington occurred quietly Saturday morning, Sept. 5, ending the four-month closure to complete the two remaining phases the roadway reconstruction project.
The project includes curb and gutter, drainage and storm sewer from the south corporation limit to Liberty Street; and from Buck Run to just north of Wardwell Street.
The village and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) completed phase 1 in 2018 when the roadway between Liberty Street and Buck Run was reconstructed.
An early-morning fog initially caused Ada schools with a two-hour delay. Then at 8:42 a.m. the schools announced that classes were cancelled for the day (Wednesday, Sept. 9). The announcement was made on Ohio Alerts.
