Road work will close another highway in our area starting today. ODOT says U.S. 224 is closed just west of State Route 235 for a culvert replacement. The agency says the work should take 30 days. The detour takes you south down Route 235 to State Route 12, west to Columbus Grove, and north on State Route 65 to Ottawa.

State Route 12 remains closed east of Benton Ridge for a bridge repair project. That closure doesn’t impact the U.S. 224 detour.

You’ll also see restricted traffic on State Routes 18 and 613 this week. ODOT says crews will restrict traffic to one lane from Van Buren to Fostoria for chipping and tarring work on the roads.
