New Mantua roundabout will improve safety, ODOT says, but locals expect disruptions

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Mantua Township is getting a $2.2 million roundabout at state Route 82 and Chamberlain Road to improve safety at one of the most dangerous rural intersections in the state of Ohio. 

The Ohio Department of Transportation is already moving utilities in the area, and drainage work on the northeast side of the intersection should begin soon. Actual road construction will begin next spring.
