Traffic news
Here are a few construction projects underway and upcoming that may impact traffic in the City:

NEW INFO! HUNT ROAD CLOSURE: This project will repair a landslide that is jeopardizing the eastbound lane of Hunt Road just west of Fox Run Apartments. Erosion from the adjacent creek has destabilized the roadway embankment. In order to correct the issue, a soldier pile and lagging must be installed to protect against erosion and to support the roadway. The road closure is expected to begin the week of March 27 and could last up to two months. A detour map can be found here. 

BRIDGE CLOSURE: The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has closed Cooper Road at the I-71 overpass for construction. The bridge is expected to be closed to through traffic for 10 to 12 weeks. During the closure, traffic will be detoured south to Cross County Highway via Montgomery Road (on the east side of the bridge) and Kenwood Road (on the west side of the bridge). Click here to see a detour map.
