New traffic
pattern slated for I-75 southbound
Hamilton
County (Friday,
April 17, 2015) – Work on the I-75
widening project between Norwood Lateral and Mitchell Avenue will require lane
closures in preparation for a “contraflow” configuration where one lane of
southbound traffic will travel on the northbound side.
A single
lane closure will be in place on southbound I-75, beginning at 8 p.m. Friday,
April 17, followed by a double lane closure at 11 p.m. Upon completion of work,
the left lane of southbound I-75 will be shifted to the northbound side.
Northbound traffic will remain the same. All lanes will be open by 5 a.m. the
following day.
In
approximately two weeks, the remaining two southbound lanes will be moved to
the east, or median, side of I-75. Additional signage will be placed throughout
the area to alert motorists to the changes.
