NAPOLEON, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Transportation is asking the people of northwest Ohio to name its newest bridge.

Construction crews are building the new bridge between County Road 424 and State Route 110 in Napoleon, crossing over the Maumee River.  

The bridge, currently unnamed, will be christened at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at a later date. ODOT has not yet announced the specifics of when.
