HAMILTON COUNTY (Friday, June
27, 2014)
– The full closure of northbound Interstate 75, originally scheduled for this
weekend, has been postponed to Tuesday, July 1 and Wednesday, July 2.
All
lanes of northbound I-75 will be closed between the Mitchell Avenue and SR 562
interchanges to accommodate work to replace a railroad bridge overpass. The
closure will begin at 11 p.m. each night, and reopen to traffic by 5 a.m. the
following day.
The
northbound I-75 exit to Mitchell Avenue will remain open to traffic. The

As a reminder, this weekend work to implement a traffic switch on northbound I-75 at the
Hopple interchange will require the following restrictions:
A single lane closure will begin at 8 p.m. Friday, June 27,
followed by a double lane closure at 10 p.m. with all lanes open to traffic by
8 a.m. Saturday, June 28. The ramps from Harrison Avenue and Bank Street to
northbound I-75 will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday until 8 a.m. Saturday, as
well.
The traffic switch will relocate all four lanes of northbound
traffic to west of the barrier wall onto the southbound side of I-75 from just
north of the Western Hills Viaduct to just south of Hopple Street.
Traffic
delays may be significant and motorists are encourage to seek alternate routes.
Arrow boards and signs will be in place prior to the work zone to
alert motorists of the upcoming traffic operation. To help ensure the
safety of the construction workers as well as the traveling public, motorists
should remain alert, reduce their speed and watch for stopped traffic while
passing through the work zone.
