The project encompasses repairing the two bridges on I-75. Interstate 75 is a major north-south interstate highway bisecting the country from southern Florida for 1,786.47 mi. up to the northeastern point on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, making it one of the longest in the United States, as it passes through six states.
Nothing lasts forever. When the
Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) conducted routine inspections of the bridge decks and surface of Interstate 75 over Edwin C. Moses Boulevard and Carillon Boulevard near the Great Miami River in Dayton, Ohio, they concluded that the bridge decks built in 1963 had reached the end of their useful design life. ODOT rated them poor.

Some homes come with a story, usually one of local personalities who lived out interesting (or scandalous) lives inside their walls. Other homes serve enough jaw-dropping drama to create a story all their own. This Washington Township house is the latter, with six bedrooms and six full baths (many of which are
en suite), and more than 5,500 square feet of living space on its three floors. About 20 minutes south of Dayton, the home gives you easy access to that city’s amenities and is an hour or less to Hamilton or Cincinnati. “You feel worlds away,” says Robinson Sotheby’s listing agent Sean Chmura, “but you’re a five-minute drive to Dayton Mall.” Inside, look for walls of multi-paned windows in the living and dining rooms, crown molding and wainscoting on the Colonial-style ground floor, fireplaces throughout (both upstairs and down), and an office paneled in rare tigerwood.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Seven public access improvement projects received a total of $492,920 this year through the Paddling Enhancement Grant, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). The primary goal of the Paddling Enhancement Grant is to increase access and opportunities for hand-powered watercraft.
The Village of Pomeroy was along the grant recipients for this round. The $75,000 award to Pomeroy will go toward a new ADA compliant canoe/kayak launch, gangway, and dock for safe river access for non-motorized boats.
“Paddle sports continue to drive the sky-high participation in water recreation,” said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “We’re proud to support our local economies and provide Ohioans with quality opportunities for recreation on the water. Just remember to wear a life jacket!”
