U.S. 24 eastbound to I-475 northbound. Detour: I-75 northbound to westbound I-475 back to I-475/U.S. 23.
I-75 northbound to I-475 northbound. Detour: I-75 northbound to I-475 westbound.
I-75 southbound to I-475 northbound. Detour: State Route 582 to I-75 northbound to I-475 westbound.

I-475 between Airport Hwy and U.S. 24 Maumee will experience lane restrictions throughout the duration of the project.
