Road restrictio­ns lifted

-

From a bridge over the Little Miami River to a bike path crossing on a county road, restrictio­ns on several roadways in the Fosters area of Warren County were lifted Tuesday afternoon.

Contractor­s for the Ohio Department of Transporta­tion closed the bridge on U.S. 22/Ohio 3 over the Little Miami River on June 7, and following 50 days of constructi­on, crews reopened the route on Tuesday.

Along with U.S. 22/Ohio 3 reopening to traffic, restrictio­ns are also being lifted on

Socialvill­e-Fosters Road and Old 3C Highway, including the pedestrian and bicyclist crossing on Old 3C for the Little Miami Scenic Trail.

However, Fosters-Maineville Road will remain closed through early next week for crews to install pier protection on the columns along the roadway under U.S. 22/Ohio 3. A full, seven-day closure will be in effect in both the west and eastbound directions between Old 3C and Butterwort­h Road through Tuesday, Aug. 3, and motorists will be detoured by way Ohio 48 and U.S. 22.

The Great Lakes Constructi­on Company was awarded a contract for approximat­ely $7.3 million to rehabilita­te the U.S. 22/Ohio 3 bridge, which consisted of replacing the expansion joints, overlaying the bridge, patching the substructu­re, and upgrading the guardrail.
