State Route 177 and Oxford Germantown Rd.
Changing to Four-way Stop
Preble County (August 2, 2018) – The conversion of the intersection
of State Route 177 and Oxford Germantown Rd. in Israel Township from a two-way
stop to a four-way stop should be completed by Wednesday, August 22.
This four-way stop
conversion is to help reduce a growing amount of severe angle crashes at the
intersection. The project will also install a red overhead flasher at the
intersection and dual flashing LED-lit “stop ahead” warning signs on SR 177 to
alert motorists of the stop. The existing LED-lit stop signs on Oxford
Germantown Rd. and the new additions are intended to increase awareness of the
four-way stop at the intersection.
Arrow boards and/or
signs will alert motorists of the work zone. All work is contingent upon the
weather.
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.
