ODOT 626(08) Seasons Road Interchange - Completed

After a busy summer and fall of 2009, work is substantially complete for the new SR 8 & Seasons Road diamond interchange in the cities of Stow and Hudson. The interchange opened to full traffic on the morning of February 22, 2010.

Our contract with ODOT called for a completion date of June 30. We are proud to say we were able to finish four months ahead of the anticipated date, despite the fact of added work and an unexpected extension of a settlement period. We worked closely with both ODOT and the city of Stow to facilitate this early opening. Because of colder temperatures late last year, temporary paint was applied for the pavement markings, which enabled the early spring opening. The south bound SR 8 entrance ramp originally called for a 4-month settlement period that actually ran over by approximately two weeks. This impacted our mainline paving schedule and required the work to be performed later in the paving season. Despite this challenge, we were able to coordinate with all parties involved to re-mobilize and complete this critical path activity allowing utilization of this much needed improvement.
