The designated detour route will utilize Front Street, Cherry Street, and North Summit Street. Construction is currently scheduled to begin in early 2028. This project will be fully funded by ODOT, with no City of Toledo financial participation in this project.
The City of Toledo desires the State of Ohio, Director of Transportation, to proceed with the aforesaid highway improvements.
