Huge if true! We'll believe it when we see it.

The project started in May and the bridge was originally supposed to reopen in August.

You like Nirvana? You enjoy stand up comedy? How’s a Friday night sound where you get to experience both on the same night? , Thomas Wayne Lyons are brining the tunes. And get ready to laugh so much before you listen to some depressing songs with stand up from the likes of .1of1 and .

Please use Belleria Pizza Wick in navigating to the venue! Navigation apps are a bit faulty in discerning the current state of affairs taking place with getting to the venue around the road closures.

So we've had a major development occurring just outside of our parking lot from Ohio Department of Transportation - Akron / Canton District 4 . This greatly impacts our summer plans and your ability to get to the venue. So here's what you need to know:

The Wick Ave Bridge over 422 is completely closed to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic as they are replacing the bridge deck. The access roads around it are also closed to vehicle traffic but still open to pedestrians.

In the map below the purple route are how we would recommend getting there. The red is what is closed off. Navigate to the intersection of McGuffey Rd, and Wick Ave, and then proceed past the signs that say Road Closed Local traffic only. Using Belleria Wick on navigation apps is how we recommend using directions.

Our only available vehicle entrance is the the north Wick avenue one (listed at the check mark in the map below). Our normal south entrances are within the construction zone and are not accessible. They are to pedestrians however who utilize the detour over Elm St.

This construction started on Monday and will proceed through at least the middle of August.

To say we are mad is an understatement. We know this is work that needs to be done and doing it in the summer does make a lot of sense for YSU related traffic, but to leave us on an island is a gross over sight. Would have loved to see them keep at least the West Bound Service Road open from Andrews ave, and connecting it back to Wick North Bound but they are using it for construction vehicle parking.

We hope to still see you out at some of our summer events. As of now they will all happen as planned. See Wickyards.com for those events! We had so much we wanted to do this summer but with only one entrance into our parking lot, this will no longer be feasible. We are so sorry but this is out of our hands. We hope ODOT can maybe modify the closures to make it work better for us and neighboring businesses but for now this is how it is. We will get through this together.Thanks for sticking with us!

Important for our summer events! The bridge next door to our property will be closed all summer long. Pay attention to posted detours and plan a longer commute to get to the venue.

More than 5,000 cars and trucks that use a portion of Wick Avenue in Youngstown will be detoured next week during a closure beginning Monday, May 18, for a bridge
