FRIDAY, MAY 12
Chillicothe (Wednesday, May 10, 2017) - With the Lake White Dam Rehabilitation project moving into the final phase of road work, construction is now set to begin on state Route 552 and County Road 105 (Forest Hills Boulevard) this week.
S.R. 552 will be closed Friday, May 12, at S.R. 104 for crews from Sunesis Construction to begin reconstructing the routes' junction. The project will include widening the intersection and adding turn lanes, and along with its closure, Forest Hills Boulevard will be closed at its junction with S.R. 104 for its realignment, as well as for a slide repair.
The Lake White Dam project is a combined effort between ODOT and ODNR to rehabilitate the 4,200-foot earthen dam and improve the adjacent roadways and intersections at Lake White State Park in Pike County.
In part, the $31.7 million project calls for improving the dam to ensure regulatory requirements, reinforcing the east bank of S.R. 104, completing the lake drain, armoring the upstream face of the dam with riprap, replacing the existing bridge on S.R. 104, reconstructing the highway by widening S.R. 104 and improving the junctions of S.R. 551, S.R. 552 and Forest Hills Boulevard with S.R. 104.
With the closure of S.R. 552 and the lower (south) end of Forest Hills Boulevard, thru-traffic will now be routed by way of S.R. 220 at Waverly. S.R. 551 also remains closed between S.R. 104 and C.R. 93 (Bricker Road), and the state park boat ramp is closed as well. And while the lake has been restored to summer pool, the remaining roadwork is anticipated to be completed in early summer.

Realignment, Bridge Replacement Project Begins
On Watson Rd.
Chillicothe
(Monday, May 8, 2017)
-
Work for a realignment and bridge replacement project is under way on County Road 50 (Watson Road) in Pike County, with crews mobilizing today, May 8.
Contractors for the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Pike County Engineer's Office will be realigning 1,937 feet of Watson Road and replacing a bridge that is located just south of the route's junction with C.R. 55 (Hay Hollow Road). In addition to the bridge replacement over Carrs Run, the project includes improvements to the intersection with Hay Hollow Road and a culvert replacement.
Watson Road will be closed for approximately 90 days, and during the initial phase of the project, motorists will be detoured via S.R. 335 and C.R. 39 (Higby Road) to C.R. 35 (Old U.S. 35) in Ross County to Watson Road.
In June, the detour will be re-routed by way of S.R. 32 and U.S. 23 to accommodate for an upcoming closure of S.R. 335 for a bridge replacement near Township Road 511 (Straight Creek Road). Then, in the later stages of the project, Watson Road traffic will be maintained with temporary signals.
The Double Z Construction Company was awarded a contract for approximately $1.79 million to complete the project, and all work is scheduled to be completed in mid-fall.
