Crews in Moraine, Ohio, are working to meet a mid-2025 completion date, as they carry out a $51 million roadway rehabilitation. The I-75 reconstruction project, stretching from 06.86 straight line mile marker (SLM) to 09.57 SLM, replaces existing pavement and pavement markings, and includes minor bridge repairs. “The pavement infrastructure within the project limits had exceeded its life expectancy, and could no longer be satisfactorily maintained,” explained Mandi Dillon, Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) regional public information officer. “Work is
on schedule, and all lanes of traffic should be back in their permanent configuration by mid-October 2024.” The undertaking is approximately 60 percent complete. As with most projects of this nature, motorists are having to be somewhat flexible during construction. “There have been changes to the traditional traffic pattern to allow the contractor to work on the interstate, while still allowing for traffic flow and volume,” said Dillon. “We have included lane shifts and a contraflow lane to ensure we still have three lanes available in each direction during construction.” Barrett Paving Materials Inc. serves as the see ODOT page 6
