Overnight Closure Set For 146th Street Next Week

Construction Crews Will Set New Beams on Westbound Bridge

The Hamilton County Highway Department will close 146th Street from 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 25 through 6:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 26 to set four beams on the westbound lane of the 146th Street Bridge. The bridge is being widened on both sides to better accommodate the intersection reconstruction at 146th Street and Allisonville Road.

“We appreciate the community’s cooperation and understanding and apologize for the inconvenience,” says Matt Lee, the department’s Bridge Program Engineer. “The full closure of 146th Street will allow crews to complete the beam setting faster and with less disruption. It also ensures the safety of all road users and construction crews.” 

The following restrictions are scheduled to take place:

• October 25 at 11 a.m. – A single lane restriction for the westbound right lane of 146th Street will be implemented for material staging.
• October 25 at 9 p.m. – Both directions of 146th Street between Allisonville Road and River Road will be temporarily closed to allow for the installation of four bridge beams. A detour route using River Road, State Route 32 (SR-32), and Allisonville Road is attached.
• October 26 at 6 a.m. – Both directions of 146th Street will be fully reopened to all traffic. 

Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution while driving through the area. Law enforcement officers will be on site to ensure the safety of construction crews and the public. Motorists can get the very latest on this project, as well as sign up for an e-newsletter, at www.streamline146.com
