TOLEDO, Ohio — Northbound I-475 traffic will be moved to temporary lanes just north of the Maumee River (before US-24). Traffic will proceed adjacent to southbound traffic, separated by barrier wall. Traffic will remain in this configuration for most of 2023.

• The switch will occur between 8 and 9 p.m. on Friday, November 18th.
• During the weekend of November 18-20, I-475 will be reduced to one lane. All northbound ramps will be closed between US-24 and Airport Highway, with the exception of the northbound I-475 ramp to eastbound US-24. The ramps won’t be closed for the entirely of the weekend. ODOT hopes to provide a more detailed timeline of these ramp closures in a few short days.
• Northbound I-475 to westbound US 24 will be closed.
• The eastbound/westbound US-24 on-ramps to northbound I-475 will be closed.

Following the switch, the ramp from westbound US-24 to northbound I-475 will remain closed for one year. Detour by taking westbound US-24 to the southbound I-475 on-ramp to eastbound US-24 to the northbound I-475 on-ramp.
