The Ohio Department of Transportation will begin a significant road improvement project on U.S. Route 42 in the coming months. This project will result in a safer roadway for the travelling public, but in the meantime may cause some disruption in the project area.
This website page is being provided by West Chester Community Development to support U.S. Route 42 property owners and the travelling public through the lengthy construction process. It will include important information about the project, as well as resources for updates as construction progresses.
It is always important to note that construction schedules are affected by many unplanned and unforeseen circumstances – weather, equipment failure, etc.
West Chester Township has no direct control over the construction process as this project is managed by ODOT. West Chester, however, will make effort to lessen inconvenience and support property owners through this process. Our professional community development staff is always here to help and is available to answer your questions. You can reach us at 513-777-4214 during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Project Summary
The U.S. Route 42 (Cincinnati-Columbus Road) road widening project includes the widening of U.S. Route 42 to three lanes to provide a through land in each direction and a middle two-way left-turn lane from U.S. Route 42 from Fields-Ertel Road north to Butler-Warren Road. Specifically, just north of Windwood Drive to just south of Butler-Warren Road. This widening is for areas where there is currently no turn lane. The project also includes the left turn lanes on both approaches of Dimmick Road, which is designed to provide safer roadway conditions for the traveling public. Project is scheduled to begin Spring 2011 with completion slated for Fall 2012.
Project Investment: $3.1 million
