Five roundabouts are on the way for U.S. 6 between Sandusky and Huron

Updated Oct. 19, 2026: Added current ramp closures and ODOT's latest completion estimate, which differs from its PublicInput timeline.

The Ohio Department of Transportation is building five roundabouts on U.S. 6 between Sandusky and Huron, a stretch of Cleveland Road that backs up with summer traffic.

The U.S. Route 6 Connectivity Corridor project runs from Cedar Point Drive in Sandusky to the state Route 2 interchange at Rye Beach Road in Huron. ODOT's plans call for five roundabouts: at Perkins Avenue, Camp Road and Rye Beach Road, plus the state Route 2 ramps at the Rye Beach Road interchange. A center turn lane will also be added between Camp Road and Rye Beach Road.

The city of Sandusky built a sixth roundabout, at Cleveland Road and Cedar Point Drive, which opened in May 2024.

What else is being built

The project also adds a 10-foot-wide multiuse path in three places:

• The Sandusky Bay Pathway, from Cedar Point Drive to Hemminger Ditch, which opened July 9
• The north side of U.S. 6, from the Cedar Point Sports Center to Rye Beach Road
• The east side of Rye Beach Road, through the state Route 2 interchange to Bowling Green State University's Firelands campus

What drivers should expect

ODOT's Erie County traffic advisory, modified Oct. 15, lists June 2029 as the project's estimated completion. The PublicInput project timeline still lists June 2028. The two official pages disagree; the newer advisory does not explain the difference.

The advisory says the Rye Beach Road entrance ramp to westbound state Route 2 and eastbound state Route 2's Exit 142 to Rye Beach Road are closed, with completion estimated for Dec. 19, 2026. Drivers are directed via state Route 13 at Exit 145 and the opposite direction of state Route 2.

Work at U.S. 6 and Perkins Avenue is outside the existing roadway alignment. ODOT says traffic is maintained with flaggers or temporary signals during work hours, and a full intersection closure is not scheduled until 2027. The work schedule depends on weather.

ODOT says the path segments will give walkers and cyclists continuous access between Sandusky and Huron. The corridor carries boat, camper and Cedar Point traffic. Project details and updates are on the project's public information page.
