Construction crews will set new beams on westbound bridge
The Hamilton County Highway Department will close 146th Street from 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 25 through 6 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 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,” said 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 detour route calls for motorists to use River Road, State Route 32, and Allisonville Road. (Graphic provided)
The following restrictions are scheduled to take place:
- Oct. 25 at 11 a.m. – A single lane restriction for the westbound right lane of 146th Street will be implemented for material staging.
- Oct. 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.
- Oct. 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 streamline146.com.
