The Ohio Department of Transportation has reported on road construction projects that are affecting Wood County motorists. Here is a list of the current projects:
Lime City Road over Interstate 75, Rossford, is reduced to one lane controlled by a temporary traffic signal following a strike from an over-height load which damaged the bridge. Traffic will remain in this pattern for several months.
On Friday, June 9, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Lime City Road between I-795 and Buck Road will be closed for soil borings for the future bridge rehabilitation project. Traffic should use Glenwood Road as an alternate route.
U.S. 20, between I-75 and Simmons Road, in Perrysburg/Rossford, will experience lane restrictions and closures for installation of a turn lane. Westbound will be reduced to one lane during overnight hours. Eastbound left turn to the former Holiday Inn French Quarter center will be closed during phase 1. The detour will be eastbound Route 20 to Simmons Road to South Compass Drive, to westbound Route 20. Start date to be announced.
Ohio 18, between Bloomdale and Hancock County line, and in Bloomdale, will experience lane restrictions for resurfacing, performed under flagging operations in the work zone, through June. Lane restrictions will continue the week of June 12-16 for manhole adjustments, berming and striping.
Ohio 235, between Sand Ridge Road and Taylor Street, Weston, will be closed for a bridge replacement project beginning Wednesday, July 5 through July.
Ohio 25, between Cygnet Road and U.S. 6, Bowling Green/Portage, closed to through traffic on March 1 through July 2023 for road reconstruction. Detour is I-75 to Route 6. The southbound direction is completely closed. The northbound traffic is maintained in one lane. Wood County Engineer’s Office will have a simultaneous closure on Rudolph Road, adjacent to Route 25.
Starting on Friday, June 9, Route 25 will be closed between Powell Road and the north corporation line of the Village of Portage. This will be a full closure, with traffic not passing in either direction. Traffic will be detoured to Route 6, I-75, or Route 235.
Ohio 64 (also known as East Wooster Street), from I-75 to Mercer Road, Bowling Green, is restricted to one lane in each direction during construction of a roundabout at Campbell Hill Road. Work will continue until late summer.
