Extensive work on the Interstate 75 widening and reconstruction project in Findlay allowed the project to reach its first major milestones last year, and work continues as the project enters its third year of construction.

In 2018, the most notable changes in traffic patterns occurred off the mainline lanes of Interstate 75. In October, Lima Avenue closed to through traffic and pedestrians under U.S. 68/state Route 15 for approximately one year.
