State Route 82 Detour Might Be Quicker Than You Think

The stretch of road is expected to reopen Aug. 13 — just in time for school.

Think the Old Royalton Road detour adds lots of traffic time to your day? 

Think again.  

Starting this week, state Route 82 will be closed to all traffic.

The road will be closed entirely between Old Royalton Road for two weeks, while crews work to repair a culvert. 

We thought we'd take the detour — at rush hour — to see how long it takes.
