The Ohio Department of Transportation says the completion of two bridge projects on State Route 568 on the east side of Findlay has been pushed back and the reopening of the roadway delayed.
On May 15th, State Route 568 closed for approximately 75 days to rehabilitate two bridges:
- Over the Blanchard River between TT 234 and CR 236
- Over Glauner Ditch between CR 236 and CR 237
ODOT originally said the roadway was tentatively scheduled to reopen on or around August 1.
Now, ODOT is eyeing an August 8th reopening date for State Route 568 and the two bridges.
ODOT said it planned on overlaying the approach slabs on the bridge over the ditch, but hydro-demolition revealed that they were in worse shape and need a complete replacement.
