Despite heavy rainfall early in the year, the reconstruction and expansion of Interstate 75 through Findlay and Hancock County still hit major milestones in 2019 to keep the project on track.
The $114 million project is in its fourth and final year and is expected to be completed late this fall.
“The way we phased the work last year, plus a mild winter so far this year, has enabled us to work through the winter on bridges and ramps and keep the project on schedule,” said Chris Hughes, Ohio Department of Transportation District 1 deputy director.
The most notable accomplishments of the project in 2019:

She has worked as a staff attorney in the Child Advocacy Unit of the Maryland Legal Aid Bureau and with the Juvenile Law Center in Philadelphia, serving as the center’s director from 1993 to 1996.

When Don went to see Ronald Reagan campaign in Lima in 1984, he set off the beepers as he walked through a metal detector.
The Secret Service didn’t ask him to empty his pockets. They should have. His pockets were filled with Mondale for President pins. The pins set off the beepers.
That’s not the first time Don’s antics have set off beepers, and it probably won’t be the last.
