Chances are you may have encountered more work zones than normal on Ohio roads this winter due to the mild weather and lack of snow. The Ohio Department of Transportation says Mother Nature normally keeps crews busy with snow and ice removal, but those days have been largely non-existent this winter. The warm weather means less pressure on the highway department's operating expenses.

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 1 announced multiple reconstruction and resurfacing projects for Interstate 75. The projects will span from Napoleon Road to State Route 235 in Allen and Hancock counties. Traffic lights on the highway will also be replaced with LED bulbs. The current bulb system has to be replaced every four years, but with the new LED bulbs, changes will happen every fourteen years instead.
