North Bend Road
Bridge replacement scheduled to start
Hamilton
County (Tuesday,
April 12, 2016) – A
project to replace the North Bend Road bridge over Interstate 74 is scheduled
to start Monday, April 18. The bridge is located between West Fork and Boomer
roads in Green Township. The bridge replacement is part of an I-74
rehabilitation project and includes resurfacing the pavement on I-74 and the
ramps at this interchange. The contract will also repair a slope failure along
the shoulder of the exit ramp from westbound I-74 to North Bend Road.
The
$8.2 million project was awarded to the Sunesis Construction Company and is
anticipated to be complete in fall of 2017.
Traffic
will be maintained during construction using temporary roads, lane shifts and
posted detours. Access will also be provided to the I-74 ramps and adjacent
properties. The travelling public should expect delays in the area.
An
local alternate route has been posted by the Hamilton County Engineer’s Office
from North Bend Road to West Fork Road to Race Road to Boomer Road to North
Bend Road and vice versa. A temporary traffic signal shall be provided at the
Race Road and West Fork Road intersection.
Arrow
boards and/or signs will be in place to alert motorists of the work zone and
traffic restrictions.
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.
