The project and lane restrictions start at 1 p.m. Wednesday and are expected to wrap up around 5 a.m. Thursday.
As traffic backs up in the area, especially during the Wednesday evening commute, the suggested detour from the WHIO Traffic Center is:
- Exit SB I-75 at the County Road 25A exit in Piqua.
- Take County Road 25A south through Piqua and reenter SB I-75 at the entry ramp, which is approximately one mile south of the Piqua city limits.
