​A portion of Hamot Road will be closed at the intersection with Oliver Road and Flower Road (Route 4008) due to the construction of the five-leg roundabout n Summit Township, Erie County.

The southern Hamot Road leg will be closed starting Monday, August 15 and is expected to reopen in 10 days. A five-mile detour will be posted using Flower Road, Reichert Road, and Dunn Valley Road

The southern Oliver Road leg is expected to reopen August 12, 2022.

Additional short-term detours and traffic pattern shifts will be needed throughout the project.
