Road Warrior: Turnpike to remain 2 lanes each way at Maumee River through winter
The I-75 reconstruction project south of Monroe and the Ohio Turnpike bridge redecking at the Maumee River have both reached their halfway points, but the work zones’ layouts for the winter months will differ. As of Friday, both were set up with a left-lane closing for traffic operating on the proper sides of the roadway. But while three lanes of traffic in both directions will be restored for the cold-weather hiatus on I-75 between South Otter Creek and Dunbar roads, the turnpike will remain two lanes each way across the Maumee until late next year. Charles Cyrill, the turnpike’s spokesman, said barrier wall will be moved over to the westbound side early this week so that on Wednesday night, westbound traffic can be shifted to the eastbound left lane and shoulder. “This will allow the start of the demolition of the old eastbound bridge deck,” Mr. Cyrill said. Demolition, of course, is a task amenable to cold weather, and getting it done then should allow deck replacement to get going first thing in the spring. The turnpike’s project schedule calls for all lanes to reopen about a year from now once that’s done. All closed northbound ramps have reopened in
