Lane Restrictions In Effect This Weekend
For I-75 Bridge Work

Hamilton County (Wednesday, October 2, 2019) – As part of a bridge rehabilitation project on Interstate 75, work on the Liberty Street bridge will require lane restrictions on southbound I-75 this weekend, October 4 through 7.

The left, three lanes of I-75 South will be closed from the Hopple Street interchange to just south of Ezzard Charles Drive, and the restrictions will go into effect beginning at 9 p.m. Friday, October 4, and continue through 6 a.m. Monday, October 7.

I-75 will remain open to one lane throughout the weekend, and exits to Hopple, Harrison, Western/Liberty and Ezzard Charles Drive, affected by the work zone, will remain open as well. However, traffic delays should be expected, and motorists to downtown Cincinnati are advised to use alternate routes

In addition to rehabilitating the southbound structure over Liberty Street, the project also includes rehabilitating the deck of the bridge over Bank Street. Although the project has an interim completion that would allow this weekend’s work to be completed next year, the current condition of the pavement warrants the project be completed this fall. The project, though, is weather-sensitive, so crews from Complete General Construction will complete the overlay while the temperature is conducive.

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.
