Road Warrior: Traffic changes planned at Rossford roundabout site
A traffic-pattern shift is planned for Tuesday at the Glenwood/Buck roundabout project in Rossford. Glenwood Road will be entirely closed on the north side of Buck Road during this phase, which will allow Glenwood to be shifted to its tie-in with the new, circular intersection. The city of Rossford expects westbound Buck to reopen approaching Glenwood, where it has been closed for reconstruction. As of Saturday, a stretch of pavement in that part of Buck remained to be built, so that will have to happen before the westbound lane can reopen. The city said the work on Glenwood’s northerly leg is expected to take about 10 days but is weather dependent. Once this switch occurs, northbound traffic on Glenwood approaching Buck will no longer have a forced right turn onto eastbound Buck. That will be welcome relief for motorists not anticipating that turn, because the detour it begins is quite long. Some drivers appear to have been cutting through the parking lot at the Wendy’s on the intersection’s southwest corner, so that should come to an end too. **** Utility work will close eastbound South Avenue between Cordova Street and Maumee Avenue on Monday only, the Toledo Department of Transportation

Road Warrior: New work zone starts on Woodville Road near I-280
While we’ve reached the time of year when roadway projects tend to start winding down, a new one started up late last week in Northwood. A city project to resurface Woodville Road, part of State Rt. 51, between Owen Road and I-280 started Thursday with work on the westbound right lane from State Rt. 579 to Lemoyne Road. City officials expect work to continue through mid-November, and if Thursday’s startup is a guide, it will cause delays. Walbridge Road and State Rt. 795 are both reasonable alternatives for Route 51 traffic to or from I-280. Consider using Bradner and Curtice roads as an alternative to the west end of Route 579. A busy East Toledo street, meanwhile, will be blocked for three days for pavement repair. First Street will be closed southbound between Oak and Utah streets. This is the section that becomes Miami Street at a curve just south of Utah. A posted detour will use Oak and Fassett streets. **** Wee-hours drivers on northbound I-75 in Wood County won’t be able to get directly onto northbound I-475/U.S. 23 for a few hours early Tuesday. A guardrail repair will close that ramp from 2:30 a.m. until about 5 a.m.,
