U.S. 68 and S.R. 15 southbound ramp set to close through fall 2029

A new ramp configuration on Interstate 75 opened Saturday as part of the reconstruction and widening of the interstate through Findlay and Hancock County.

A new flyover ramp carries I-75 southbound traffic onto U.S. 68/state Route 15 or to Lima Avenue, replaces the existing loop ramp. The new ramp is referred to as a flyover because the ramp is carried over I-75 traffic to make the connection to U.S. 68/state Route 15 or Lima Avenue.

Kirk Slusher, Ohio Department of Transportation District 1 deputy director, said, "We expect the transition to be rather seamless as new signage will clearly direct motorists onto the ramp,” he said.
