It may be a rough commute in and out of areas of Downtown Akron this morning

A Water Main break will cause delays in the area of High Street, Between Market St. and Mill St.

High Street will have restrictions while crews repair the issue, and there will be no Westbound access on Mill Street until repairs are finished.

Stay tuned...

In September of 2020, The City of Akron plans to dedicate a new, 15' tall, bronze statue of a Rubber Worker in the center of the new Round-a-bout that is going in at Main and Mill.

The statue will sit atop a marble base and the city will sell bricks that will be engraved and placed around the base as it continues to raise funds for the project from corporate and private donors.
