Project Overview
Contractors for the Ohio Department of Transportation will be rehabilitating the bridge which carries northbound I-75 over Mill Creek, a railroad, Benson Street and Shepherd Avenue in the Arlington Heights, Reading, and Lockland areas.
The bridge rehabilitation will repair bending cracks occurring in the structural steel, zone paint under the expansion joints, and complete other minor repairs to the bridge.
