Southbound I-75 to have just 1 lane this weekend south of Monroe

LA SALLE, Mich. — Southbound I-75 will be reduced to one lane just south of Monroe this weekend while a new traffic pattern is painted on the roadway, the Michigan Department of Transportation announced. I-75 has been reduced to two lanes each way between Dunbar Road and Exit 9 (South Otter Creek Road) for most of the year for reconstruction of the northbound lanes. An additional southbound lane will close at 8 p.m. Friday and reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, MDOT said. This weekend’s work will allow southbound traffic to be restored to its normal configuration after crews shift northbound traffic back to its rebuilt lanes, which started Thursday. Three closed interchange ramps on the northbound side also are reopening, said Aaron Jenkins, a spokesman at the department’s district office in Jackson, Mich. The southbound lanes’ reconstruction will require a similar traffic pattern using the northbound side next year.

Slope repair closes lane on southbound I-475 near U.S. 24

Repair of a slipping slope along southbound I-475/U.S. 23 near the U.S. 24 interchange closed the right lane and shoulder after Thursday’s morning rush hour, and more work may occur there in the future. Kelsie Hoagland, a spokesman at the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Bowling Green district office, said state officials observed the formation of a dip in the roadway and guardrail just south of Monclova Road at least several weeks ago and have been monitoring it ever since. Kokosing Construction Co., which widened and rebuilt the freeway in that area several years ago, sent a crew out Thursday morning to investigate and make an initial repair, Ms. Hoagland said. The intent was to make at least a temporary repair before winter sets in, then evaluate what additional work might be needed in the spring, she said. The exit to U.S. 24 remained open, but traffic using it needed to slow down to make a relatively sharp turn after the work site. Check back for updates.

Route 64 safety project calls for 2 roundabouts, plus road-ditch realignments

With its deep ditch and dangerous intersections, Ohio 64 between Bowling Green and Haskins has long been an accident waiting to happen. Motorists who drive the 4.5 miles of Route 64 come within a foot of the steep ditch drop off. Belleville Ditch, estimated anywhere from 8 to 12 feet deep, leaves little space for drivers to recover if they go off the roadway. And the close proximity of the ditch to the road has resulted in erosion of the pavement, leading to frequent repairs.

ODOT mechanics inspect snowplows ahead of winter weather

Mechanics from the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Bowling Green garage helped Lucas County workers prepare for the winter season Tuesday. Jacob Rupp, district garage manager for ODOT, supervised the Bowling Green mechanics, watching them detach and turn around snow plows and check engines to ensure drivers cruise on safe roads during winter. Six mechanics from the Bowling Green garage offered a second pair of eyes in evaluating the readiness of equipment at the Lucas County garage in Maumee. “It’s always vital that we go through the whole fleet and check everything over to make sure for its roadworthiness,” Mr. Rupp said. “There’s a lot of things that we have to conform to as far as ODOT regulations. The same as any big truck going down the road, we look every year to make sure the truck is not illegal to go down the road.” The mechanics checked brakes, drive lines, salting systems, tires, salt containers, and plow blades, checking their lists as they spread out to examine each truck, Mr. Rupp said. Kelsie Hoagland, public information officer for ODOT District 2, said the organization wants to not only protect the public but ODOT drivers as well. “These trucks go through

Road Warrior: ODOT seeks comments about State Rt. 64 project

HASKINS, Ohio — A pending State Rt. 64 reconstruction project south of Haskins that includes two new roundabouts will be the subject of an open-house meeting Wednesday in Bowling Green. The Ohio Department of Transportation plans to realign and rebuild 4½ miles of Route 64, including some modifications to the Haskins Road Ditch. The project is intended to move the road away from the edge of Belleville Ditch, which now poses a hazard for roadway or guardrail failures, and thus reduce maintenance costs, ODOT said. Roundabouts are planned at Route 64’s intersections with State Rt. 582 (Middleton Pike), just south of Haskins, and Bishop Road. The session will run from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Bowling Green Community Center, 1245 W. Newton Rd. A feasibility study for the project will be released during the meeting and project officials will be present to discuss it, but no formal presentation will be given. ODOT says the roundabouts’ construction could start in 2029, while the schedule for the balance of the project depends on allocation of funding. **** Lucas County’s latest roundabout, at Archbold-Whitehouse and Providence-Neapolis-Swanton roads, opened late last week, bringing an end to this year’s roundabout construction in the

Region awarded $2.2M to support transportation safety plans

Four northwest Ohio counties were awarded federal grants totaling $2.2 million to plan and implement several transportation safety efforts. Congressman Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo) announced Friday that Lucas, Ottawa, Wood, and Sandusky counties received grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation to institute a real-time railroad crossing information system integrated with 911 dispatch, conduct road safety audits, measure crash data, and assess agricultural vehicle conflicts. “This award improves more than just infrastructure — it protects lives and provides for thoughtful study and analysis of transportation issues that affect our entire region,” Ms. Kaptur said. “By working together with federal investments, our local communities are better equipped to deliver actionable change and identify future opportunities for growth.” The federal Safe Streets and Roads for All program funds critical projects across the nation that prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Sandusky County Engineer Carlos Baez said the funding will help improve roads in rural areas. "Our county’s two-lane roads often have narrow shoulders, sharp curves, and limited lighting, and those conditions contribute to serious and fatal crashes. These funds will let us identify proven safety measures at places where they’re needed most, so farmers, commuters, school buses, and families can all get

TARTA rebrands bus service, discusses rapid transit plans

TARTA Metro will be the new name of Toledo’s bus service starting early next year, making room for a new rapid transit service being implemented by the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority. CEO Laura Koprowski, who has run the transit agency since 2020, said the rebrand aims to make the bus service easier to recognize and more inviting to ride. It will also distinguish the fixed-route bus service from its upcoming bus rapid transit service. “The new name reflects who we are today: a regional transit provider serving northwest Ohio. The name also reflects a fresh, modern approach to public transit designed to appeal to our longtime riders, welcome a new generation of customers, and invite those who are transit-curious to finally give TARTA a try,” Ms. Koprowski said. Bus rapid transit lines are similar to light rail systems, using buses with dedicated lanes, elevated platforms, and more frequent service. The transit authority’s line would run every 15 minutes between Sylvania and Oregon on Monroe Street , which is currently serviced by TARTA’s most popular bus route. Ms. Koprowski said the system would support residents in new housing, attract employers, and encourage restaurants and business to locate nearby, using Indianapolis,
