HICKSVILLE â A sewer/water line project on this townâs west side is causing some traffic concerns for village officials.
The chokepoint is on West High Street (Ohio 2) approaching the west village limits where Hohenbrink Excavating, Findlay, is replacing a water line and installing a new storm sewer.
The street is closed to through traffic from the east at Antwerp Drive (Ohio 49) and from the west at Chicago Avenue.
The trenches are very, very deep and one lane is totally ripped out,â explained Hicksville Village Administrator Kent Miller. âThereâs no way we can maintain traffic.â
While trucks from the east can detour onto Antwerp Drive (because itâs a state route), the truck detour for traffic coming into Hicksville from the west is Indiana 101, six miles southwest of the village, which connects to U.S. 24.
