A bridge replacement project will close down Back Orrville Road beginning May 11 for 150 days between North Millborne Road and Orr Road, according to the Wayne County Engineer’s Office.
An old steel bridge will be replaced, and the road widened to meet the bridge’s new width.
Back Orrville Road is the most direct route between Wooster and Orrville and handles considerable traffic every day.
