CTH O Closure May 27th 2025

May 22, 2025 By Quintin Hinrichs

Construction on CTH O, starting from Equity Auction Market and extending south to CTH OO and Santa Klaus Ln, will begin May 27th 2025. The road will be closed to thru traffic as construction will have significant impact to travel. Meise Construction will do their absolute best to accommodate travel to businesses and people who live on this stretch of road. This will include working with Pine Valley Community Village to help leave constant access to that facility for visitors and staff. They will notify Richland County Dispatch of the best access practices during the course of this project to ensure safety and best ease of travel. We at Richland County Highway thank you for your anticipated patience and look forward to the completion date of October 31st.
