New Philadelphia, Ohio - The next phase of the state Route 416 paving project is expected to begin next week, according to New Philadelphia City officials.

Mayor Joel Day says the grinding and resurfacing portion of the project will begin on Monday, October 1, weather permitting. The project will begin near the City Garage on Commercial Ave. SE and proceed through South and North Broadway to the northern city limit. 

No complete road closures are planned during the project, and Day says the construction will occur between the hours and 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. to minimize traffic disruptions.
