The Ohio Department of Transportation will permanently close the ramps from South Street to Interstate 76 eastbound in Akron starting Wednesday.
The closures are needed so work crews can do waterline work and begin construction of a new section of South Street.
The work is part of the ongoing $84 million project to reconstruct the I-76 interchange with South Main Street and South Broadway. The entire project is scheduled to be completed by July 2020.
The South Main ramp to I-76 eastbound will remain open during the work.
The South Street ramps were originally scheduled to be closed Friday, but the closure was pushed back because of the weather, ODOT said Thursday.
The state agency, as part of several projects, is reducing the number of entrance and exit ramps along I-76 in Akron to improve safety.
