ODOT is proposing to rehabilitate six culverts (located in Hancock, Hardin, and Wyandot Counties) in order to extend the life of the existing structures. Construction activities may require temporary lane closures, but the need for full vehicular detours is not anticipated.

Construction is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2023.

Hancock County –
State Route 103 at mile marker 8.14 carrying an unnamed tributary to Ottawa Creek, approximately 0.25 mile south of the village of Jenera.

Hardin County –
State Route 235 at mile marker 5.48 carrying Poe Ditch, approximately 3.00 miles north of the village of Roundhead.
