Ken Collins shares three flooding photos of the Grass Run area with Ada Icon viewers. He took these just outside Ada on Sunday as rain fell most of the weekend.
The Hardin County Engineer, in partnership with ODOT, is proposing to replace the existing bridge on County Road 75 over Hog Creek located at mile marker 15.15 (approximately 2.5 miles northeast of the village of Ada).
Construction activities will result in temporary roadway closures. Vehicular traffic will be detoured. Access to all properties will be maintained throughout construction.
Construction is anticipated to occur in the summer of 2023.

Ohio Northern University student Nathan Thobe didn’t experience the January 2005 ice storm that struck the Midwest and Ada.
But, he talked with several village residents who did. And, he obtained a video of the storm’s aftermath in Ada that was filmed by Jeff Young.
The interviews, video, plus many photos and newspaper clipping became part of Thobe’s final project in an oral history course this spring at ONU.
His project includes interviews with Max Trachsel, Angela Evans, Bob Ward, Tevye Celius, Kathleen DeVault, Paul Logsdon, Tonya Paul, Beth Gray, Jhon Lomax and Chad Hays.
