(NOTE: Hamilton county Highway Dept. has delayed this project to June 9th…an updated story has been posted)
Local drivers should prepare for traffic delays and lane restrictions at the busy intersection of 146th Street and Allisonville Road as road crews implement a new construction phase beginning the evening of Thursday, June 5.
The phase switch is set to begin at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, with lane closures and ramp shutdowns continuing into the early morning hours of Friday, June 6. Motorists are urged to seek alternate routes or use extreme caution when navigating through the area.
Here’s what to expect:
-
7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m., June 5:
One lane of both eastbound and westbound 146th Street will be closed within the construction zone to allow crews to place temporary pavement markings and adjust barrier walls. -
10:00 p.m., June 5 – 5:00 a.m., June 6:
All ramps connecting 146th Street and Allisonville Road will be closed. However, one lane in each direction will remain open on 146th Street using the overpass bridge. Similarly, one lane in each direction on Allisonville Road will be open beneath the bridge. A brief full closure of Allisonville Road around 10:00 p.m. is expected as the traffic signal is removed. -
5:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m., June 6:
Ramps between 146th Street and Allisonville Road will reopen, but the north and south legs of the roundabout will temporarily close for pavement marking work. During this time, vehicles using the northeast and southwest ramps will only be able to turn right onto Allisonville Road. -
By 6:00 a.m., June 6:
All movements at the intersection are expected to fully reopen.
Officials emphasize that delays are likely and alternate routes are strongly recommended during this traffic phase change. Those who must travel through the area are asked to drive with caution and patience.
The work is part of an ongoing construction project aimed at improving traffic flow and safety at one of Hamilton County’s key intersections. This project is expected to be completed by the fall of this year.
