Watch for more traffic through Main Street Ada the week of April 22.
State Route 81 just east of State Route 235, within the village of Ada, will close Monday, April 22, for approximately one week for a water line repair project, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.
Local drivers will create their own detour paths around State Route 81 on the east side of Ada.
