The state Department of Transportation announced some upcoming lane changes on Route 228 as part of the $26.5 million Balls Bend Safety Improvement Project in Middlesex Township from July 24 through 28.

Between the intersections of Route 228 with Park Road and Officer Edward Brooks Drive, the contractor will be making lane changes with a crossover near Orchard Lane.

Single lane closures will occur nightly depending on weather and there will be temporary impacts to Davis Road during the work, but access will be maintained to Davis Road at all times.

The project is anticipated to be completed in January 2025 by Independence Excavating of Independence, Ohio.
