• Southbound ramps on the west side of U.S. 68/state Route 15 at Lima Avenue (airport side) scheduled to open.
U.S. 68/state Route 15 southbound traffic through the Lima Avenue area will be in a new pattern.
Northbound ramps on the east side of U.S. 68/state Route 15 at Lima Avenue (Cooper Tire side) scheduled to close for three weeks.
LIMA AVENUE
Lima Avenue closed Oct. 15, 2018 until the end of the 2019 construction season during construction of a roundabout. The following traffic impacts are in place:
On Saturday, May 18, the southbound ramps at U.S. 68/state Route 15 at Lima Avenue on the west side of U.S. 68/state Route 15 near the airport will open.
The ramps are expected to reopen by mid afternoon Saturday.
When the ramps reopen, traffic will be in a new pattern and will utilize portions of the future roundabout.
Traffic is currently detoured onto state Route 12 and county Road 9 back to Lima Avenue.
On Monday, May 20, the northbound ramps at U.S. 68/state Route 15 at Lima Avenue on the east side of U.S. 68/state Route 15, near Cooper Tire, will close for approximately three weeks for roundabout construction.
Work to place the detour will begin around midnight on Sunday, May 19 and be completed by the Monday morning commute.
Traffic will be detoured to the U.S. 68/state Route 15 interchange south of Findlay, to U.S. 68 (Main Street) to Lake Cascades Parkway back to Lima Avenue.
Per the city of Findlay, sections of Main Street and Lake Cascades Parkway where trucks are typically prohibited to travel will be permitted access during the three-week detour. Signs which now indicate trucks are prohibited on these sections will be covered.
The restriction of trucks on this section of Main Street will be reinstated once the detour is removed.
Lima Avenue traffic will still not be able to travel east or west beneath U.S. 68/state Route 15.
No access from U.S. 68 southbound to Lima Avenue eastbound, or from U.S. 68 northbound to Lima Avenue westbound is possible.
Once the ramps on the west side of U.S. 68/state Route 15 open on Saturday, access to Lima Avenue will be via I-75 northbound to the state Route 12 interchange to I-75 southbound back to Lima Avenue.
