The Brady Lake Road Bridge over Breakneck Creek and the CSX Railroad tracks, is scheduled to close Monday for the construction of a replacement structure.
Construction is scheduled to be completed by June 1.
The bridge is located between Merrill Road and Second Avenue in Franklin Township.
Portage County Engineer Michael Marozzi said Ruhlin Construction Co. of Akron has been awarded the $1.89 million contract for the new bridge.
The proposed project will require the closure of Brady Lake Road, just outside of the Kent city limits.
Marozzi said the schedule for the project has been coordinated with the schedule for the Crain Avenue bridge replacement project in Kent.
The two bridges should not be closed at the same time, he said.
Information on the detour can be obtained from the Portage County Engineer’s office by contacting Assistant County Engineer Scott Miller at 330-296-6411.
