Hamilton County Highway crews started work this week on the redesign of the intersection at 146th Street and Allisonville Road.  Lanes will be restricted, as are left turns.

When the work is complete, a roundabout will be located on Allsonville Road with an overpass for east-west traffic on 146th Street.

Below is the latest update on the project from the Highway Department:  (Note:  observe the construction speed limit and watch for workers in the work zone)  

====

Phase 1 traffic restrictions are in place. Please refrain from entering into closed lanes, which are marked by the presence of traffic barrels and solid lane lines. The worksite speed limit is set at 35 mph. Please exercise caution while driving through this construction zone.

Construction crews are removing center concrete medians and preparing to put down temporary pavement. This will allow traffic to be shifted so construction can begin on the new interchange configuration. Utility relocation work is ongoing in the right-of-way.

Delays at the intersection are anticipated during peak hours. Motorists are encouraged to seek an alternate route when feasible.

Closures of Sowers Dr. and Saville Rd. at 146th Street will be necessary in June. Additional notifications will be provided prior to these closures.
