Airport Highway to be completely closed for 1 month!!
It’s hardly the biggest of projects the Ohio Department of Transportation has planned for metro Toledo this year, but for about a month a bridge repair on Airport Highway will be one of the most disruptive.
Airport will be completely closed just west of Apple Blossom Drive in Springfield Township for 30 days, tentatively scheduled to begin April 30, while its bridge over Wolf Creek gets a deck overlay and approach slabs are replaced, state officials said Tuesday.

Heroin Steals the Future – There is Help Campaign
Heroin Steals the Future – There is Help Campaign
The Chamber Partnership Joins Alliance Campaign
Heroin abuse has grown to staggering proportions in NW Ohio and while the general public is made aware of it through the media no one can assess the true impact of the epidemic to the community.
Walker Funeral Homes has seen the destruction of lives from heroin abuse. Keith Walker, President of Walker Funeral Homes launched a health alliance comprised of mental health and government agencies and the media to “Heroin Steals the Future – There is Help.” Walker states “Our media support has been tremendous but we still need to reach into the community to get a broad based support to carry the message into the workplace and board room. We welcome collaboration with Arrowhead Behavioral Health, Good Grief NW Ohio and with The Chamber Partnership, which will help us take the message into local businesses across Northwest Ohio. Business suffers when addicts miss work and their paycheck is going to support their habit rather than their family.”
Josh Torres, Preident & CEO of The Chamber Partnership states “most of the heroin addicts are people with jobs--some are accountants, lawyers, construction workers, nurses, and secretaries. In other words, they are people who go to work every day.”
According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. ( NCADD), of the nearly 15 million Americans who use illegal drugs, 70% are employed. Drug abuse in the workplace effects productivity and increases the likelihood of on the job injuries and absenteeism, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy. According to NCADD, the highest rates of illicit drug use occur in the restaurant and construction industries.
Torres continues “businesses need to be educated about what can be done for those who may be an addict”. The Chamber Partnership by working together with the alliance can strategize and develop resources for our members and the business community.
