The eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 in Mercer County will be closed at 9:00 AM today to allow for the safe recovery of a vehicle involved in a crash. The eastbound left lane will reopen once the cleanup is complete.
The interstate is expected to be closed from Hubbard, Ohio to the Interstate 376 interchange (Exit 4A) in Mercer County.
Currently the eastbound right lane is closed in that area due. It will be reopened following repairs to the guiderail.
