Highway construction information throughout northwest Ohio is linked below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ODOT District 2<\/a>\u00a0(Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca, Williams, and Wood counties).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ODOT District 1<\/a>\u00a0(Allen, Defiance, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert, and Wyandot counties).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locally, the focus is on the reconstruction and widening of Interstate 75 through the city of Findlay and Hancock County. The $114 million, four-year project is in its third year with completion expected in late 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Certainly one of our main goals this year is to open at least a portion of the Lima Avenue roundabout,” said Chris Hughes, acting deputy director for ODOT District 1. The roundabout will provide direct access from Lima Avenue to I-75 and from Lima Avenue to U.S. 68\/state Route 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The department also hopes to have three lanes open on I-75 both northbound and southbound north of the Blanchard River, the majority of the work on mainline U.S. 68 completed, and the new ramp from U.S. 68\/state Route 15 to I-75 northbound open. “Exceptional weather will be needed to accomplish this, but that is our goal,” said Hughes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
