Drivers need to be aware of a traffic switch on Interstate 75 in Findlay as part of the reconstruction and widening project.

Details are in the following media release from the Ohio Department of Transportation.

Interstate 75 will experience a traffic switch as additional traffic is added to the southbound side overnight Friday, Nov. 15 into the early morning hours of Saturday, Nov. 16. The shift is expected to begin after 9 p.m. and is expected to minimally affect traffic.

When the shift is complete, the section of northbound traffic which currently travels on the southbound side between County Road 313 and U.S.68/SR 15 will be extended to Sandusky Street allowing construction activities to begin on two remaining structures and the pavement on the northbound side.

Also, for the week of November 18th, Interstate 75 in both directions between State Route 12 and County Road 99 will have lane restrictions for finish work. Beaver Construction, Canton, serves as the general contractor for the project.

Also, in other work in the area, State Route 15, between Findlay and Vanlue, will be restricted to one lane in both directions for bridge repairs at two locations.
