November 12, 2024, Press Release from the Ohio Department of Transportation District 1: LIMA, Ohio (Nov. 12, 2024) – The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Hancock County Engineer’s office are partnering to enhance safety along State Route 15. Next week, work will begin to permanently remove access to State Route 15 from County Road 8. “With the County Road 180 overpass and U.S. 68 roundabout complete, this section of State Route 15 is ready to function as a limited-access highway,” said Chris Hughes, District 1 deputy director. “The closure will redirect traffic to interchange access points located nearby at U.S. 68 and State Route 37, which are a safer way to enter and exit the busy highway,” he said.

It was a full house Monday night in Convoy as area residents learn about 3 upcoming major road construction projects in Van Wert County. The first project is at the intersections of U.S. Route 30 at Convoy-Heller Road and Payne Road where State Route 49 intersects. At these two locations, ODOT plans to construct a restricted crossing U-turn similar to the concept at U.S. Route 30 and Thayer Road in Allen County. The second project consists of a building an overpass taking Convoy Road over U.S. Route 30. There will be no access to U.S. Route 30 from Convoy Road. The third project is located at U.S. Route 224 and Lincoln Highway where the intersection will be converted into a single-lane roundabout. ODOT says these projects are needed as an increase in traffic and number of fatal crashes have been noted.
