Route 303 and Brush roads to have short-term closures

State Route 303 will be closed Aug. 30 and 31 from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. in both directions, under the I-77 overpass near White Pond Drive. If the work is not completed, the road may also be closed on Sept. 3 and 4.

Brush Road will be closed in both directions on Sept. 3 and 4 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

ODOT, in collaboration with Kenmore Construction, has announced these road closures instead of their initial plan to close eastbound traffic on Route 303 and Brush Road for 90 days. The Richfield safety departments opposed those proposed closures because they would increase time and distance to get to locations on the east side of the community. ∞
