Interstate bridge over abandoned RR slated for 2021 removal

Four Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) projects will impact traffic patterns in Bluffton over the next four years.

Jack Huber, village administrator, shared the projects with Bluffton council members on Monday.

The most significant is slated for 2021. It is the projected complete removal of the twin overpasses on Interstate 75 at Exit 142. The bridges are 0.3 miles north of Exit 142 at State Route 103.

The project involves removal of the bridges and reconstruction of the pavement over the abandoned railroad.
