CINCINNATI – The Cincinnati Department of Transportation & Engineering (DOTE) has begun a $5 million street rehabilitation project extending nearly four miles along River Road/U.S. 50 between Anderson Ferry Road in Delhi to Dart Street in Sayler Park.

Crews this week are on site marking locations that need full-depth base repairs. Excavation is expected to begin next week. 

Crews will work in the opposite travel lanes as rush hour traffic – heading westbound away from Downtown before 9:00 a.m. and eastbound after 9:00 a.m. All work will wrap up by 4:00 p.m. daily. 

Through traffic will continue to be allowed during the eight-month project, though motorists should expect intermittent delays, depending on the work being performed. 

Message boards are posted at both ends of the work zone to alert motorists of upcoming construction activity. Motorists are asked to slow down and pass through the area with caution.

The project is scheduled to be completed by Oct. 31.

The contractor is Cincinnati-based John R. Jurgensen Co. The $5 million project is funded with a combination of city capital and a Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) transportation infrastructure grant.
