Peter Castillo+FollowAkron intersections to flash for 90 days—what it means for your driveStarting in September, drivers on Gilchrist Road in Akron will notice big changes at two intersections: traffic signals will switch to flashing mode for 90 days as the city studies whether to remove them. At Gilchrist and Munroe Falls, Gilchrist flashes yellow (caution), while Munroe Falls flashes red (stop). At Gilchrist and Skelton, the same pattern applies. This could mean faster commutes or more confusion—depending on how drivers adapt. How do you feel about potentially losing these signals? Will it make your daily route smoother or riskier? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Transportation #AkronTraffic #GilchristRoad00Share
umccall+FollowAkron’s I-77 reopens after bridge scareTraffic on I-77 in Akron is finally moving again after a semi truck hit a low bridge near Copley Road, causing major headaches for drivers. For hours, both directions were shut down between the central interchange and Copley, forcing everyone onto detours and backing up local streets. Emergency crews and engineers worked late into the night to check the bridge’s safety before reopening the highway. If you were caught in the mess, how did you handle the detours? Do you think more warning signs are needed for low bridges in the area? #Transportation #AkronTraffic #I7700Share
