State Route 568 will be closing for construction of the pedestrian bridge portion of the Blanchard River Greenway Trail extension project.

The City of Findlay says the closure will go from Bright Road to County Road 236 beginning on Monday, October 30th and lasting for approximately 45 days.

A suggested detour is included in the Facebook post from the city below.

The pedestrian bridge will be located north of the existing State Route 568 bridge and take people over the Blanchard River.

This extension of the Greenway Trail will take it to County Road 236, and in the future, the city says it wants to extend the Greenway Trail from County Road 236 out to Riverbend Recreation Area.

Anyone with questions about the project may call the City of Findlay Engineering Department at 419-424-7121.
