AND TONIGHT A VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE ABOUT THE MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT. AND WE바카라 게임 웹사이트VE GOT 바카라게임 NEWS FIVE바카라 게임 웹사이트S CURTIS COURTIS ON THE SCENE THERE LIVE. AND, CURTIS, WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT FOR US? WELL, YOU KNOW, MIKE AND SHEREE, THIS IS A $21.5 MILLION PROJECT. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG FINE ON IT. BUT WHAT WE HEARD MIGHT NOT BE MUSIC TO THE EARS TO A LOT OF FOLKS. WE LEARNED THE END OF THIS PHASE OF THE PROJECT IS DELAYED BY AT LEAST A COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT DEFINITELY HAS IMPACTED SOME OF THE CUSTOMERS THAT COME IN, SAID THEY. YOU KNOW, THEY STOPPED COMING BECAUSE IT WAS SO HARD TO GET HERE OR SO HARD TO LEAVE. SO IT MEANS DEFINITELY AFFECTED A LITTLE BIT. SINCE MARCH, THE NORWOOD LATERAL HAS GOTTEN A MUCH NEEDED REFRESH. THE FIRST FEW MONTHS, THE EASTBOUND LANES WERE CLOSED OFF TO TRAFFIC. NOW THE WESTBOUND LANES HAVE THOSE NO TRAFFIC SIGNS UP. MAYO, LETTUCE, TOMATOES. YES. ANDY VOZZO IS THE OWNER OF THE J&J SANDWICH SHOP. HE바카라 게임 웹사이트S FOUND A WAY TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN TO HIS BUSINESS FOR 30 PLUS YEARS. HE WASN바카라 게임 웹사이트T ABOUT TO LET THE LATERAL REPAIRS CHANGE THAT THE LATERAL NEEDED TO FIX. SO THEY HAD TO DO IT. THEY HAD TO DO WHAT THEY HAD TO DO. ODOT WAS HOPING TO HAVE THIS PART OF THE PROJECT WRAPPED UP BY LABOR DAY, BUT DRIVERS AND BUSINESSES IN THE NORWOOD AREA WILL HAVE TO REMAIN PATIENT FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DELAY THAT WE바카라 게임 웹사이트VE HAD ACTUALLY WITH THE PROJECT IS RELATED TO, UM, UH, ON ONE OF THE STRUCTURES, SOME STRUCTURAL STEEL WORK THAT WAS UNFORESEEN, THAT HAD TO BE DONE AND BE COMPLETED AND THAT REQUIRED A LITTLE EXTRA DESIGN WORK. WEATHER ALSO PLAYED A PART IN SLOWING THINGS DOWN. WE WERE LOOKING AT IT A YEAR AND A HALF, TWO FULL CONSTRUCTION SEASONS OF ORANGE BARRELS OUT THERE. HAD WE NOT DONE IT THIS WAY AND, UM, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I THINK PEOPLE WOULD JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE INCONVENIENCE WHILE IT IS A SIGNIFICANT INCONVENIENCE, WE KNOW THAT THIS INCONVENIENCE IS, IS, IS ONE THAT WE CAN LIVE WITH AS OPPOSED TO YOU KNOW, THE TWO YEARS OF INCONVENIENCE WITH TRAFFIC IMPACTS OUT THERE HAS BEEN ANDY BUSIO SAYS HE바카라 게임 웹사이트LL BE HAPPIER WHEN THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. IT바카라 게임 웹사이트S JUST LIKE ANYTHING ELSE. YOU JUST GOT TO FIND A WAY TO SURVIVE THROUGH IT AND THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트S WHAT WE DID. YEAH, AND EVERYBODY바카라 게임 웹사이트S BEEN SURVIVING THROUGH IT. IN FACT, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ARTERY. ABOUT 70,000 PEOPLE USE THE NORWOOD LATERAL ON A NORMAL DAY. BUT AS WE SAID, THINGS WILL BE DELAYED BY AT LEAST A COUPLE OF WEEKS. AND THE OVERALL REFRESH OF THIS WILL CONTINUE ON INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT YEAR. I SHOULD POINT OUT THAT WE WON바카라 게임 웹사이트T SEE ANY MAJOR CLOSURES LIKE WE바카라 게임 웹사이트VE HAD, THOUGH, FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. REPORTING LIVE.

CINCINNATI — Many are wondering about the Norwood Lateral project and when it's estimated to be completed.
Since March, the Norwood Lateral has gotten a much needed refresh. The first few months, the eastbound lanes were closed off to traffic. Now, the westbound lanes have those no traffic signs up.
Andy Vuozzo is the owner of the J&W Sandwich Shop. He's found a way to keep the doors open to his business for 30 plus years. He wasn't about to let the lateral repairs change that.
"The lateral needed a fix so they had to do what they had to do," he said.
ODOT was hoping to have this part of the project wrapped up by Labor Day, but drivers and businesses in the Norwood area will have to remain patient for a few more weeks.
"The most significant delay was structural steel work that unforeseen and had to be done that required extra design work," Kathleen Fuller with ODOT said.
Weather also played a part in slowing things down.
"We were looking at two full construction seasons of orange barrels out there if we didn't do it this way," Fuller said.
This overall refresh of the lateral continues into next year, but that will only include limited closures.
