Progress Continues on Improving Connectivity Between Northwest and Central Ohio

10/2/2025

The Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce is encouraged by the report that was released October 1st by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) on the potential highway connection between US23 and Interstate 71.

A key takeaway in the report finds that a US23 to I-71 connector along or near the Delaware/Marion/Morrow County line would offer the greatest benefit, while reducing the potential impacts and cost. As options continue to be refined, several show that more than a hour round trip could be saved with a more direct connection based on estimates.
