Traffic is now reduced to one lane through a work zone from approximately County Road 304 to U.S. Route 30.

The one-lane means traffic stands still in one direction, while traffic from the other direction moves.

The work involves pavement repair and resurfacing performed by Bluffton Paving, Bluffton.

Other State Route 235 work, but not directly involving Ada traffic, involves 235 from the south corporation limit of Alger to State Route 309, which is also being repaired.
