NEW PHILADELPHIA - The Ohio Department of Transportation officials say motorists may experience some nighttime delays in New Philadelphia starting Sunday as the state Route 416 paving project that was originally planned for last year finally gets underway.

Crews will be paving along South Broadway starting at Lakeview Road and then continuing through the city to the south side corporation limit. The work will occur nightly between 7pm and 6am with traffic maintained by flaggers during those hours. The anticipated completion date for the project is July 31st.
