Road Warrior: 11-02
The Blade’s Road Warrior advises readers each Monday where the biggest driving headaches will be throughout the construction season. He’ll tell you the locations to avoid and the detours to take.
Stay away from northbound I-75 north of Perrysburg on Tuesday. Pavement repairs will close all but one northbound lane from the Ohio Turnpike to Buck Road after 8 a.m., the Ohio Department of Transportation says. The northbound exit at Buck also will be closed. The work is supposed to be done by 5 p.m. that day.
The longer-term project to overhaul the DiSalle Bridge’s deck is taking a bit longer than expected. ODOT says workers encountered decayed concrete deeper than expected into the deck once they started the project.
The transportation department still expects to wrap up this fall’s construction phase by “Thanksgiving, for sure,” if not mid-November, according to Mike Gramza, the district construction engineer in Bowling Green. But the extra work on the northbound right and center lanes means the northbound left lane won’t get its repairs until spring, and that in turn will push back the schedule of other construction once the project resumes in April.
Elsewhere on the Toledo freeway network, watch out for nighttime lane closings for lighting maintenance. Tonight’s work is planned for eastbound I-475 between Corey and Douglas, while tomorrow and Wednesday nights I-75 will be affected between Phillips and the Michigan border.
In South Toledo, the repair and paving project on Detroit Avenue between Glendale and Arlington is nearly complete, but some scattered lane closings will be needed for manhole cover adjustments and other finishing work.
