Fuel spill shuts down Ohio Turnpike access at Ohio 53
Editor's note: This story has been updated. Access to the Ohio Turnpike at Ohio 53 was shut down as of 11 a.m. Aug. 20 after a fuel spill. It was reopened at various points later in the day to accommodate the cleanup, but was expected to be finished by the evening of Aug. 20. Fremont Assistant Chief Dave Zimmerman reported the fire department was called out to the Ohio 53 roundabout and turnpike access around 10:30 a.m. They estimated around 50 or more gallons of diesel fuel was spilled, and the Ohio Department of Transportation and Ohio Turnpike Commission have been contacted to aid with the cleanup. Zimmerman reported that vehicles can exit the turnpike at Ohio 53, but only travel south. Ohio 53 was closed north and south of the Ohio Turnpike at CR 89 and CR 119, where vehicles had to detour. The assistant fire chief said there was a hit-and-run accident at the roundabout, but the involved vehicles were gone when first responders arrived. ODOT assisted with the cleanup, using materials to absorb the fuel. The Ohio State Highway Patrol, Sandusky County Sheriff and ODOT assisted at the scene.

Fremont, OH: Goofball Merging Onto US-20 Cuts Across the Entire Highway in One Move, Almost Sideswipes Dashcam Owner
This goofball, merging onto US-20 from OH-53, brute-forced their way into the fast lane without signaling. Erie County-area driver and Redditor /u/Fa1c0n1 shared head-shaking dashcam footage from Sandusky, earlier in July (July 30, 2026), on the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit, showing a reckless driver merging onto Highway 20 from State Route 53 without so much as a signal or shoulder check on their way to the fast lane.

Oregon council to consider stop signs along Easthampton to improve safety
Oregon may be installing stop signs at several intersections along Easthampton Drive to improve safety. Rodney Shultz, deputy engineer in the city’s public service department, conducted a review of five intersections along Easthampton that determined the need to replace yield signs with stop signs. The matter will go before Oregon City Council on Monday. The intersections with Easthampton are at Cromwell, North Reach, Hazelton, Springtime, and Beachwood drives. “Stop signs at those intersections make sense for safety reasons,” Mayor Steven Salander said. Some residents have complained about the need for stop signs. “It is a potential danger in my neighborhood,” Lynn Gibbs, of Dogwood Drive, said at a recent council meeting. “We’re having a lot of close calls. I think stop signs should be on the crossroads on Easthampton because drivers are not paying attention to yield signs.” Councilman David Andrus said he had asked the public service department a couple months ago to review the intersections. The city evaluated existing traffic-control devices, traffic patterns, roadway characteristics, sight distance, pedestrian and bicycle activity, and crash history at those intersections, and determined there was a need for stop signs to replace the yield signs. “You would expect to see a clear

Road Warrior: U.S. 20A closes for next roundabout project
Detours in Monclova Township will increase in complexity Monday when U.S. 20A closes at Strayer Road for an Ohio Department of Transportation roundabout project. The route, also known there as Maumee-Western Road, will be closed for 60 days, and the official posted detour will use I-475/U.S. 23 and State Rt. 2 (Airport Highway) in both directions. Local roads will provide much shorter alternatives, but most of those are not authorized for large trucks and other commercial vehicles. U.S. 20A’s closing also ends its usefulness as an alternative route around the roundabout project on Monclova Road at Waterville-Monclova Road. Lucas County detoured that traffic south to Stitt and Russell roads and Technology Drive, and that’s now the best option. Salisbury Road between I-475/U.S. 23 and Albon Road is also available for smaller vehicles. Monclova Road is scheduled to reopen in mid-September. Until then, plan your route through that area to avoid excessive mileage. Farther west, the new roundabout on Monclova at Wilkins Road opened early last week. Still to come this season: a roundabout at Archbold-Whitehouse and Providence-Neapolis-Swanton roads. **** A resurfacing project has started on State Rt. 2 in western Ottawa County. Flag zones will occur at varying locations between

Four South Toledo streets will be closed for varying lengths of time this week, the Toledo Department of Transportation announced. Glendale Avenue will be closed between South Glendale Avenue and Princeton Drive for about six days, starting Monday, for a mid-block Safe Routes to School crosswalk project.

Schneider Road’s westbound lane will be closed Tuesday through Thursday at Heatherdowns Boulevard, also for a school-route crosswalk project. Its detour will be to Glendale between Detroit Avenue and Byrne Road. Nearby, eastbound Heatherdowns will be closed between Royal Haven Road and Cragmoor Avenue on Monday only for utility repairs. No detour route will be posted. Glanzman Road and Schneider are the two closest alternatives. And on Monday and Tuesday, parts of South Avenue’s eastbound lane east of Detroit will be closed.

To the editor: Roche de Boeuf span harmed by ODOT work
ODOT has neglected their historic Interurban Bridge since it was closed to motor vehicles in 1946. The lack of maintenance and resultant deterioration got so bad, they closed it to pedestrians in 1983. So, if ODOT was so negligent in their required maintenance procedures over the past 80 years, why aren’t they rehabilitating the bridge today? ODOT plans to pull down the walls this month. This will result in an ugly skeleton, not an artistic icon. It will have an adverse effect on the historic character of this first of its kind bridge built in 1908. It will waste gas-tax dollars on pulling down walls that can be structurally supported at a lower cost. This will deprive tourists of a majestic view of the Maumee rapids, the historic Council Rock and the site of the start of the Battle of Fallen Timbers. Most important, it will not finish the job to make it functional again, and so, it will risk the safety of children biking on the Buckeye Trail between Haskins and Waterville. Now ODOT has given the bridge to Waterville so that ODOT can shirk their moral and financial responsibility to make this bridge a pedestrian/bike bridge again and
