KETTERING — A repaving project on Far Hills Avenue in Kettering is nearing completion, and drivers said the end can’t come soon enough.
The project started more than a month ago at Dorothy Lane right at the edge of Oakwood, and stretches almost a mile and a half to David Road. The project has caused significant delays.

“Obviously construction is always an inconvenience when you have places to be at a certain time so I’ll be glad for it to be over,” said Avery, a woman who said she drives on Far Hills a few times a week.
“It’s been better lately, but when they were in the middle of it, traffic was backed up. My work is that way,” she said.
She said that patients at her work would frequently call and report they’d be late due to the construction.
The project cost is about $1.3 million, with 50 percent being paid for by the Ohio Department of Transportation. The road was last repaved in 2009.
