The
Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), in cooperation with Toledo
Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) and the communities
of northwest Ohio, designed and constructed a new cable-stayed bridge structure and its accompanying roadway
approaches. The project is a major architectural, engineering
and transportation asset for northwest Ohio. View the construction
schedule for up-to-date construction information.
-
The
Veterans' Glass City Skyway represents the largest, most expensive
single project undertaken in the history of ODOT.
-
The
construction cost of the new cable-stayed bridge portion of
the project is $220 million.
- The
new crossing will carry three lanes of traffic in each direction
on I-280 over the Maumee River, extending from I-75 on the north end to Navarre Avenue
(SR 2) on the south end.
- The
surface of the roadway will reach about 130 feet high near the
center of the river.
