Manhole reconstruction project underway

Slow down along Main and North Avenue

A reconstruction project of manholes along Main Street and North Avenue is underway this week in Ada.

Green and white markings on the pavement indicate that the work is underway.

Crews from Brenneman Excavating of Elida, have the manhole locations coned off and work is underway. The project is expected to take approximately two weeks, according to village officials. 

Traffic will be maintained, but drivers are encouraged to drive slower than usual in the construction area. One purpose of the project is to keep the road level, thus eliminating the dips drivers often feel when driving over a manhole.
