(From Hancock County Engineer Doug Cade)

State Highway Clearing has begun work on the Howard Run Ditch, which originates north of East Bigelow Avenue, flows through the City of Findlay, and discharges into the Blanchard River. The project includes vegetation clearing, removal of log jams, and sediment excavation.

No traffic disruptions are anticipated during the course of this work. Activities are expected to continue over the next several months.

This project was initiated through a petition by the City of Findlay and approved by the Hancock County Board of Commissioners under the Ohio Petition Ditch process.

The Hancock County Engineer’s Office will provide updates on project progress and scheduling as new information becomes available. For questions or additional information, please contact our office at 419-422-7433.
