Shoop Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Does anybody know if 255 is closed or has a bridge out this week? Google maps won't let me run a route from Woodsfield to Sardis or vice versa. Usually that means that something is closed. I'm asking because the MSTA group is meeting this weekend and several of their planned routes use 255. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an Android phone and use that Google Maps it will show you, as below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoop Posted August 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Thanks. Hopefully we can keep some out of the area visitors from getting lost and frustrated. The PC version doesn't show that. Why just the Android version? (damnit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when we waited for that wide load to turn in I told you google showed the road as closed. Or was that a different road?

So it may not be closed...those all might be the pipeline crossings. Good news for the OP is that if he goes for it and it is closed 800 works just as well.

Shoop Posted August 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hmmmm. Google maps on my iPhone also shows the road as closed till Sept 30.

Chuck78 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I'm a bit worried about 255 for this riding season. The first time anyone has a chance to check out the blacktop carnage post-winter, please post up. It was totally ridable at the end of last season, but had many cracked areas and patched areas. From what I've seen so far this year around Columbus-Zanesville-Coshocton, if the pavement was fairly new or in decent shape last year, it will still be this year. If it was cracked up and older last year with some rough sections, it may have a lot more in the way of surprise potholes and rough sections... I need to look up what county it is in and see if I can look up the ODOT garage website for that county and check on 2018 projects. Luckily so many of the good roads east and southeast of Columbus been re-paved in the last 4 or so years... 255 is a crucial link to a lot of my best routes. I'm crossing my fingers that if any more deterioration has happened, it'll be addressed by mid May.

Chuck78 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 255 is closed again just south of Laings, bridge is completely out and being rebuilt during May. North of that from 78, the pavement condition look just the same as it did last year. I wanted to hit it from the Ohio River up to the bridge construction, but I was running out of daylight and got caught out in the rain and dark trying to take a fun route back to Columbus anyhow! Out of Laings, I took a very bumpy chip seal Six Points Road across to 536, a bit north of the stop sign at Sykes Ridge Road. I hadn't taken this southbound for a very long time, and was reminded quickly why I never ever do that and why I absolutely would never send anyone else down that road unless I was there too slow down and make sure they don't miss a couple of blind decreasing radius turns! Northbound is definitely much safer on the North End of 536. There are lane closures all over Southeast Ohio, four of them on 536, which completely ruin the flow of the road. Every single one, probably seven or eight of these, including the 4 on 536, were all issues where 1 lane on the downhill side of the road had sunken or slipped off substantially, some of these were a foot or more deep where they 1.5 year old pavement head sunken down as the hillside slipped away under it. The evil, wicked, mean, and nasty section of 555 just south of 78 for several miles is even worse than it was last year, substantially. More lane slippage, and so many potholes it was ridiculous. It looks like someone had gone through and randomly dumped buckets of acid in the road where the pavement was just eaten away. I can't recall exactly where the one-way alternating traffic light lane closure setups were, but there were three others aside from 536. I'm thinking 26, maybe another on 255, and one on 260 or 537? I was scratching my head here, not sure if that is all correct, very long day of riding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
