I-75 northbound at Findlay resumes two-lane traffic

LIMA (July 25, 2017) - Interstate 75 northbound at Sandusky Street, Findlay, has resumed two-lane traffic following emergency pavement repair within the I-75 Hancock reconstruction and widening project zone.

The lane was closed this morning and remained closed to allow concrete used in the repair to properly cure.

About the Hancock I-75 project:

Interstate 75 will be reconstructed and widened beginning just south of Harrison Street/County Road 144, which is just south of the U.S. Route 68/state Route 15 interchange, to the county Road 99 interchange, Findlay, Hancock County. The project will reconstruct approximately five miles of the existing four lanes of Interstate 75, construct an additional lane of travel in each direction, replace all mainline bridges on I-75, replace the Harrison Street overpass, redesign and reconstruct the interchange between U.S. 68/state Route 15 and Interstate 75, and redesign and reconstruct the interchange with U.S. 68/state Route 15 at Lima Avenue. The project also includes the construction of noise walls at particular locations. Expected completion is May 2020. Beaver Excavating, Canton, serves as the general contractor.
