ODOT taking comments about Dorr Street culvert project

An upcoming culvert replacement on Dorr Street in Toledo is the subject of an open public comment period with the Ohio Department of Transportation.

ODOT expects to close Dorr between Byrne and Richards roads for 90 days in the spring and summer of 2028 to replace the Heldman Ditch culvert, installed in the late 1950s. A planned detour will use Hill Avenue between Byrne and Reynolds roads.

Lane closings are planned before and after the detour, with construction running for about five months.

Public comments about the proposed project and its impacts may be submitted to ODOT by telephone at 419-373-4465; mail to project manager Adam Barnes, 317 E. Poe Rd., Bowling Green, OH 43402; or by emailing adam.barnes@dot.ohio.gov. A comment form is available at the project website, transportation.ohio.gov/101332.

The formal comment period is open through Oct. 19. Comments received after that time may still be considered, but will not be a part of the official public input document.
