12/29/2008

The Ohio Department of Transportation completed more than $1 billion worth of road investments in 2008, including two major projects in northwest Ohio.

A new interchange on U.S. 30 at County Road 330 west of Upper Sandusky was the final link of a project expanding and relocating U.S. 30 in northwest Ohio.

Also, two sections of U.S. 24 were opened to four lanes in Defiance and Henry counties.

The work was part of 493 construction projects on state highways and roads this year.
