Traffic flow on CR 97 to be restricted Sunday

The Mor­row County Sheriff’s Office is announc­ing a traf­fic flow change for this Sun­day in the area of Mid-Ohio racetrack.

At the request of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and with the approval of Mor­row County Engi­neer Randy Bush, traf­fic on Mor­row County Road 37 (Lexington-Steam Cor­ners Road) will be restricted on Sun­day, August 5. Start­ing at about 2:30 pm, traf­fic on CR 37 will be one-way head­ing west from Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course to State Route 314. Traf­fic to the east of Mid-Ohio on CR 37 will main­tain two-way traf­fic between Lex­ing­ton and Mid-Ohio.

The pur­pose for this traf­fic change is to get traf­fic out of Mid-Ohio as quickly as pos­si­ble. One-way traf­fic will be main­tained until the major­ity of the traf­fic has left Mid-Ohio. Nor­mal traf­fic flow will be restored as quickly as pos­si­ble and will last no later than 7:00 PM. The Mor­row County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio State High­way Patrol will assist with direct­ing traffic.

It is hoped that res­i­dents will under­stand the need for this tem­po­rary change and make appro­pri­ate arrangements.
