FINDLAY, Ohio — The I-75 southbound ramp to U.S. 68/state Route 15 in Findlay, a route commonly taken to go from northwest Ohio to Columbus, will temporarily close on Tuesday, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

The ramp will close "for a couple of hours" between 8 a.m. and noon on Tuesday to reset a light pole, ODOT District 1 said in a social media post on Monday.

Drivers should take the following detour, according to ODOT:

I-75 southbound to state Route 235
SR 235 back to I-75 northbound
I-75 northbound ramp to U.S. 68

Since the closure is short, a detour sign will not be posted.

HANCOCK COUNTY: Interstate 75 SB to U.S. 68/SR 15/Lima Ave will close Tue, Nov. 26, for a couple hours between 8 am-noon to reset a light pole.
No signed detour will be posted due to the short duration of the closure.

Further work will take place at the beginning of December.
