Traffic pattern changes coming to I-75 this summer: What to know
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A part of I-75 through north Dayton will begin shifting into the next phase of construction. The reconstruction of I-75 between Needmore Road and Leo Street is being prepped for the next phase of construction beginning in the coming weeks. Starting in June, crews will have nightly lane closures in both directions of I-75 as they move and place barrier walls in anticipation for a traffic shift. Once the barriers are in place, three lanes of southbound I-75 will be shifted back to the standard three lanes of travel. I-75 through north Dayton has been in a contraflow configuration for approximately a year as part of the previous phase of construction. The northbound side will now be shifted into two lanes of travel on the right side of I-75 north, with the left-most lane crossing over into a contraflow lane on the southbound side. The contraflow lane will begin just north of State Route 4 and State Route 48/Main Street. Drivers in the contraflow lane will be unable to access the following exits: Stanley Avenue, Wagner-Ford Road and Needmore Road. This contraflow lane is expected to be in use until fall 2025. The Ohio Department of Transportation reports the Wagner-Ford Road entrance ramp to southbound I-75 will remain closed until the fall of 2026. 'As always, safety is a top priority for both crews and motorists,' said ODOT. 'This closure comes after thorough review and careful consideration for the safety of everyone involved.'
