XENIA — Ohio Department of Transportation officials have released information of a shift in traffic patterns taking effect Friday as part of the U. S. 35-Valley/Trebein Inersection Improvement project.

The overpass bridge being created which will allow Trebein Road to drive over U.S. 35 will be opening on Friday.

ODT says vehicles heading westbound on U. S. 35 will no longer be able to turn right and head north on Trebein Road when the bridge opens.

New traffic patterns will be used for several months in order to allow for the completion of the westbound interchange ramps and other rebuilding of U. S. 35 lanes. The ramps currently being constructed will now open during this phase.

Lane restrictions will also continue to be effect in either direction.

The project is expected to ease congestion and improve safety at the new interchange upon its completion.
