Necessary buildings demolished for the Waterville Bridge replacement project
Proposed

Pre-construction
Construction
Completion
The Waterville Bridge over the Maumee River in Lucas and Wood counties will be replaced a wider bridge that includes a 12-foot shared use path and a 7-foot sidewalk. Additionally, a roundabout will be installed at the intersection of state Route 64 and state Route 65 in Wood County and dedicated left turn lanes will be added at state Route 64 (Mechanic Street) and River Road intersection. The project includes necessary related work.
The decision to build the new bridge south of the existing structure was based upon multiple factors including environmental and historical considerations, cost, public opinion and the estimated length of full closure of 45 days. The project was sold for approximately $13 million to Miller Brothers Construction, Inc.
