State Route 53, between E. State Rd. and SR 163, Port Clinton, will experience lane restrictions for widening. Paving on Route 2 and the Sandusky Bay Bridge had caused long delays last weekend for cars and trucks trying to access the Port Clinton, Catawba Peninsula and Marblehead Peninsula areas.

The Gateway to the Islands Project will last through Memorial Day. Additional restrictions will be announced, reported ODOT. While Route 53 is being widened to three lanes with a middle turn lane, businesses on both sides of Route 53 between State Road and Route 163 are still accessible.
