POLAND A section of U.S. Route 224 in Poland is closed for the time being on Saturday, November 15, according to information available on the OHGO website.

The reason given for the closure is downed power lines blocking the roadway.

U.S. Route 224 is closed in both the eastbound and westbound directions from South Main Street to Styme Road.

Drivers in the area are being asked to use an alternative route and avoid the area.

The Ohio Department of Transportation District 4 mentioned the same stretch of road being closed on its Facebook page around 4 p.m. on Saturday.

At this time, it is unclear when the road will reopen.
