Work on Interstate 75 will affect traffic patterns soon, according to ODOT.
Interstate 75 will experience a traffic switch as additional traffic is added to the southbound side overnight Friday, Nov. 15, into the early morning hours of Saturday, Nov. 16. The shift is expected to begin after 9 p.m. and is expected to minimally affect traffic.
When the shift is complete, the section of northbound traffic which currently travels on the southbound side between county Road 313 and U.S.68/SR 15 will be extended to Sandusky Street allowing construction activities to begin on two remaining structures and the pavement on the northbound side.
