Various lane closures scheduled for overhead sign work
Hamilton County (Wednesday, May 4, 2016) – Overhead sign work requires the following lane restrictions on Interstate 471 beginning tonight.
Various moving lane closures in both directions of I-471 nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following day. Once a sign is removed and/or erected, the lane closure location will change. Lane closures will go in effect two hours after completion of any Cincinnati Red’s game.
