ODOT wants you to drive carefully through work zones this Memorial Day weekend. The agency says there’s typically a 14 percent increase in traffic over the three-day weekend, which puts more drivers into confined work areas.

A release from ODOT says they try to reduce the size of work zones during highly travelled times, but that won’t be the case in northwest Ohio. Lane reductions on I-75 north of Findlay to Oil Center road will stay in place.

ODOT officials say you need to slow down and be alert through construction zones this weekend.
