The Ohio Department of Transportation has begun two new road construction projects. State Route 568 two miles east of CR 236 has closed for replacement of the bridge over the outlet ditch. The road will be closed for the next 4 months. A detour is posted including state routes 37, 15, and 330.

Pavement repairs have begun on US 224 between SR 235 and Ottawa. The highway will be reduced to one lane with flaggers on hand as the work occurs. Repaving of the stretch is expected to begin next week, with one lane maintained.

State road crews continue with several ongoing projects this week including I-75, bridge work on State Route 12 east of Findlay, and bridge replacements on State Route 37 near Riverdale School and in Arlington.

Findlay Police are looking for help in identifying a man who damaged an ATM this week.
The incident, Monday around 9pm, was captured by surveillance cameras.  In the pictures, a man is seen attempting to break into the ATM at First National Bank in the 1600 block of Tiffin Avenue.  The suspect is a white male wearing a bandana, polo shirt, and shorts while wielding a hatchet.

If you recognize the man, or know anything about the incident, please contact the Findlay Police at 419-424-7150. You may remain anonymous.

Wood County has been added to the list of those requiring masks in public places.
Twelve Ohio counties are now under a mask mandate. Governor Mike DeWine on Thursday said that residents of six more counties will be required to wear face masks while in public starting tomorrow, due to spikes in COVID-19 infections. Health officials reported one-thousand-one-hundred-and-71 new cases within the last 24 hours. Another 15 fatalities were also added to the state’s coronavirus death toll, bringing it to three-thousand-and-six.
