Welcome to the Village of Ashley
SPECIAL NOTICE 09/28/26 PER ODOT
ODOT is working on a project to rehabilitate five bridges on SR 229 between U.S. 23 and Horseshoe Road in Delaware County. Up to this point, construction has maintained two lanes of traffic using temporary traffic signals. However, we will be starting a full closure of SR 229 to complete a bridge fix before winter.
Beginning Monday, October 5, SR 229 will close for 30 days just east of Weiser Road. The detour will follow U.S. 23 to SR 98 to SR 529 to SR 746 to U.S. 42, returning to SR 229, or the reverse route. A map showing the closure and detour is attached.
This closure involves only a short section of SR 229, the shaded red section in the map. However this will be a full closure of the roadway - no access to US 23 will be available. ODOT's official detour route is shown in the image.
