U.S.68 / STATE ROUTE 15 INTERCHANGE
The Maumee Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD), in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 1, propose improvements to the US-68/SR-15 interchange just south of the City of Findlay in Hancock County, Ohio. The purpose of this project is to connect TR-80 to US-68 in order to provide direct access from the residential areas west of US-68 to US-68. This project is needed because TR-49 and TR-77, which currently provide access to/from the residential areas west of US-68 to US-68, will be removed as part of the proposed Eagle Creek Dry Storage Basin project. The Eagle Creek Dry Storage Basin project is included in the Flood-Risk Reduction Program currently underway by Hancock County and the MWCD.
80% of the project is being funded federally with a 20% local match. The most recent construction cost estimate generated by the office of estimating is $3,200,000.
The project design is complete and has been submitted to the ODOT Central Ofiice for preparation of the bidding package. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
