Ohio Turnpike westbound lanes to close Friday night at Maumee River bridge
The Ohio Turnpike’s westbound lanes will be detoured around the Maumee River bridge Friday night while concrete is poured as part of a deck replacement project. From 7 p.m. Friday until 7 a.m. Saturday, westbound traffic will be diverted via I-75, I-475/U.S. 23, Dussel Drive, and U.S. 20, the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission said. One lane will reopen at 7 a.m. and a second lane will reopen at 10 a.m. Local drivers should be aware of unusually heavy traffic on eastbound Dussel and northbound Reynolds Road (U.S. 20) during these hours. The closing is the second of three such detours planned while a new deck is poured for the westbound half of the turnpike’s river bridge. It was originally scheduled for Saturday night but moved up to Friday night because of forecast rain.

Editorial: Look out for safety
Is it just our imagination, or are vehicle accidents on the rise in metro Toledo? In a single week, four people were killed or seriously injured in collisions involving drivers making left turns: Judy Tanner, 20, was struck on Sept. 9 while using a crosswalk on Glendale Avenue by an SUV turning left out of the Walmart shopping center. She died the following day. Katelyn Osborn, 34, who was pregnant, was severely injured Friday when a car turning left struck her e-bike on Lagrange Street. Christopher Rupley, 71, died Friday night when his northbound motorcycle collided with a vehicle making a left turn onto Glanzman Road from Byrne Road. John Crapsey, 58, was critically injured late Friday night when his motorcycle collided with a vehicle turning left on State Rt. 2 near Eber Road. During that same stretch, 75-year-old bicyclist Robert Meeker died after he fell from his bicycle into traffic on University Hills Boulevard. While legal fault in each case remains under investigation, the common denominator is clear: vulnerable road users — pedestrians, cyclists, e-bikers, and motorcyclists — are bearing the brunt of devastating injuries that a driver inside a protective steel frame would likely survive. Left-hand turns demand

Four blocks of 11th Street changed to two-way traffic
Four blocks of 11th Street in downtown Toledo have been converted from one-way to two-way traffic. The change was implemented this week between Monroe and Jackson streets, with traffic signals installed for southbound traffic at Jefferson Avenue and at Monroe, and a four-way stop set up at 11th and Madison Avenue. Eleventh remains one-way northbound between Washington and Monroe streets — a block where it handles a substantial volume of traffic off the Indiana Avenue/Washington Street exit from southbound I-75 — while Do Not Enter signs on the southbound stoplight masts at Monroe warn drivers against continuing south there. The change is consistent with other recent changes by the Toledo Department of Transportation to reduce the number of one-way streets in the downtown area.
