A few new road projects start in Hancock County this week. ODOT says they’re closing State Route 103 between County Road 698 and Township Road 59 for five days starting today for culvert repair.

On Wednesday crews will reduce I-75 to one lane on the southbound side of the interstate north of State Route 613. They are repairing guardrails in that area. ODOT says they’ll also restrict traffic on eastbound State Route 15 just west of State Route 330 for guardrail repair on Wednesday.

Elsewhere other projects continue. State Route 330 over State Route 15 near Vanlue remains closed. Crews are replacing the bridge deck there. ODOT says crews are still restricting I-75 to one lane at times on the interstate between State Route 103 and Bentley Road in Bluffton. The restriction is for a bridge repair project over Riley Creek.

U.S. 224 between Road 276 and Road 23 in West Independence remains closed for a bridge overlay project.

State Route 103 between County Roads 9 and 65 remains closed for a culvert replacement. The work is taking place between Jenera and Arlington.
