Road Construction Season In Full Swing In Hancock County

5/29/18 – 5:18 A.M.

Memorial Day is over and road construction season is now in full swing. You’ll see plenty of road closures and restrictions in Hancock County this summer. ODOT is reducing State Route 12 is to one lane over the Moffit Ditch between Township roads 121 and 57. Similar work is taking place over Ottawa Creek east of Benton Ridge through mid-June.

State Route 330 over State Route 15 near Vanlue is closing today for four months. Crews are replacing the bridge deck there. The project will cause some lane restrictions on Route 15 throughout the project.

You’ll see restrictions on the U.S. 68 southbound exit ramp over Eagle Creek for a bridge deck sealing project. Flaggers will maintain traffic in that area through mid-June.

U.S. 224 between Road 276 and Road 23 in West Independence remains closed for a bridge overlay project. The detour around the closure includes using U.S. 23 and State Route 12.

State Route 37 remains restricted to one lane between Findlay and County Road 172 for a repaving project. ODOT expects that project to wrap up early this week.

State Route 103 between County Road 9 and Township Road 65 closed for 30 days last Wednesday. Crews are replacing a culvert in that area.
