Route 7 Detour Starting July 17.

State Rt. 7, both north and south lanes, will be closed starting Tuesday July 17 until Friday July 20.

This is happening at the Moore's Junction near the 18 mile marker, near the Par Mar store.

The official detour is I-77 to U.S. 50.

Drivers can also consider Hanna Road and River Lane as well as RT. 550 as detours.

"Be cautious because of the fact that there is going to be a significant amount of increased traffic on those routes. We ask that they allow a sufficient amount of time in their travel so that they aren't hurried trying to make up that time by going off the normal route of state route seven," says Ohio State Highway Patrol, Sargent Matt Boyd.

Semi-truck are not permitted on Hanna Road or River Lane.
