Ohio Department of Transportation announced two projects that impact traffic on Interstate 75 around Findlay next week:.

• Interstate 75 northbound, on the southern end of the city of Findlay, will have overnight lane restrictions in the two right lanes for bridge maintenance.

The left lane will remain open.

The work zone will begin south of the U.S. 68 interchange and extend to just past the U.S. 68 fly over ramp. 

The lane closures will begin on Thursday, April 22, at 7 p.m. and extend until 7 a.m. on Friday.

Like last year, Ada High School graduating seniors will perch themselves along Main Street later this spring.

For the second year, graduating senior banners for Ada High School and Ada Apollo graduates will fly high as Ada council recently approved the project.

This year there are 56 graduates who will have their senior banner displayed.

“We are hoping to have them completed once again with the help of Linda Crawford of The Way I See It Photography by the first weekend of May,” Jennifer Wince told the Icon.

“All banners have been donated by the Ada community similar to last year,” she said, adding a special thank you to donors.
