Episode Details

Kent State’s new school year is underway, but East Main Street remains a construction zone — and for good reason. A $25.5 million, three-year overhaul is in its second year, targeting a quarter-mile stretch plagued by nearly 250 accidents in just three years, mostly left-turn and rear-end crashes. Workers are tearing up old infrastructure — even uncovering brick — to rebuild from the ground up, starting east and moving west next year. The project, set to finish by fall 2028, promises a safer road for students, drivers, and everyone navigating Kent’s busiest corridor.
