Weather delay

Interstate 75 northbound shift to three lanes in Findlay
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, December 14, 2018

A traffic shift on Interstate 75 northbound between U.S. 224 and county Road 99, Findlay, to three lanes was delayed this morning due to weather.

Crews had planned to shift I-75 northbound, just prior to the U.S. 224 interchange, over to the new three lanes on the northbound side this morning. The shift was dependent upon the placement of pavement markings, which could not occur due to rain overnight.

The switch is anticipated to occur next week if suitable weather exists.
