Expect Flaggers and Temporary Signals Along Main and Front Streets
Kalida, OH · August 24, 2026
Flaggers are taking their posts along Front Street early this morning to guide traffic through active work zones. Keep an extra couple of minutes in your commute buffer before heading out.
The Lead
Crews are actively working along State Route 114 and State Route 115 as construction continues on a major infrastructure project through the village. The effort centers on building a continuous shared-use path along Front Street between Main Street and Second Street, extending up Main Street toward Northland Drive.
To keep travel moving safely while work progresses, temporary traffic signals and flaggers are managing single-lane traffic flow through the primary work corridors. The project aims to improve safety and walkability by creating a dedicated route for walkers and cyclists connecting residential streets directly to downtown businesses.
Motorists should plan for minor daytime delays during morning and afternoon drive times. Village officials remind drivers to slow down through active zones and watch for shifting signal setups as grading and concrete work continue in the coming weeks.
