Get ready to detour around Main Street in Hiram in the coming days as the city prepares for a road closure as men get working on the railroad, all the live long day.

The City of Hiram announced this morning that a road closure is coming up on Tuesday, January 20 as part of a need to make repairs at crossings on Main Street.

The temporary closure will take around 24 hours on Jan. 20, and require a detour for those who utilize the area regularly to get to and from their destinations.

“Motorists are encouraged to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as this necessary maintenance is completed to ensure safety,” the city added to their announcement this morning.

Drivers who need to detour around should use Rosedale Road to get back to Angham Road or Arnold Road from Metromont, or stay on SR 92 through downtown Hiram and turn back at Bill Carruth Parkway to Arnold Road.

A new set of speed cameras has police officials hoping that drivers will slow down when they are going through the area of Dallas Elementary School, per a release from the city department on Monday.

The new cameras put up around Dallas Elementary went active on Monday and a 30-day advanced notification period for driver’s traveling through the school zone on weekday mornings when school is in session for the start of the 2026-27 school year will be posted ahead of time as a reminder.

Cameras operating who spot drivers going 10+ miles an hour over the speed limit will be sent tickets via a partnership with RedSpeed to install and operate the new cameras.

The department said it wasn’t meant to be a punitive measure against drivers, but hopes instead it’ll act as a preventative for speeders and get them to slow down and protect students and staff during peak hours when traffic is heavier.

“Driving above the posted speed limit in school zones puts pedestrians, especially young children, at a much greater risk of serious harm,” the release from the department noted.

The cameras will be looking for drivers 1 hour before the start of the school day, an hour after the first bell, then an hour before and an hour after dismissal on weekdays.

Signage is also being installed to warn drivers of cameras and encourage them to slow down before reaching the school district.

Those who are caught speeding will be mailed citations after the release promises that a “thorough review” of any citations before they are sent.
