Harrison Avenue Widening Project

The city is receiving $370,000 of state funding of an estimated $462,600 construction project to widen Harrison Ave. between Karl Brown Way and Railroad Avenue from 16'-20' existing width to 22' width. The project includes realignment and relocation of Harrison between Railroad and First Street to the north by approximately 70', in preparation for a new surface parking lot. Additionally, the project will include the installation of 5' wide concrete sidewalks and curb along the south side of Harrison. These improvements will positively impact safety along the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail, which has been a concern of the city's first responders. The project will also include the replacement of catch basins, upsizing of storm sewers, and addition of a headwall with flap valve at the pipe outlet to improve drainage and safety in the area. Completion of the Harrison Avenue Widening Project will allow for the city to proceed with implementing the Nisbet Park Master Plan once the storm sewer outlet pipe through the park is complete. Other improvements include enhanced signage, pavement markings, restoration, and other incidentals. 
Start Date: Late September 2023
Estimated Completion: Spring 2024

Loveland-Miamiville Road Sidewalks

Sidewalks will be added along the east side of Loveland-Miamiville Road from State Route 48/Oakland Road to Sugar Tree Lane. Preliminary engineering occurred in 2022. Engineered construction drawings for Phase I of the project began in January 2023. The bid opening for construction was held in April 2023.  The contractor anticipates starting layout, clearing, and preliminary grading the week of June 26.  Storm sewer work is scheduled to start the week of July 3.  Curb installation is scheduled for the week of July 10, with sidewalk installation scheduled to begin the week of July 17.  The schedule is dependent on weather and private utility companies' pole relocation.
Start Date: Late June 2023
Estimated Completion: August 2023

Second Street/State Route 48 Traffic Improvements

The city, working in partnership with the Adams County Land Bank, took possession of the former Mobil Station site after the prior owner concluded fuel center and retail operations, thus clearing the way for the property to be transferred. With the cessation of fuel center activities on the site and the associated transfer of the property to the land bank, the city can now begin the process of completing the environmental inspections required to demolish the former fuel center, remove the existing underground storage tanks, pursuing additional funding to assist in remediating current known and unknown issues associated with the past fuel center use. Additionally, with the transfer of the property, the city authorized testing to determine if there are existing, undocumented petroleum releases associated with any active underground storage tanks on site.  Demolition occurred in February. Once the site is remediated, a right turn lane will be added along SR 48 to improve traffic flow.
Demo: February 2023                                           
Utility Relocation: July-September 2023                                                               
Estimated Completion: October 2023
Second Street/State Route 48 Improvement (Mobil Station) 

West Loveland Avenue Bridge

The West Loveland Avenue Bridge is scheduled to be repaired in 2023. The bridge is owned and maintained by both Clermont and Hamilton County, and the project is being largely funded by Hamilton County, state grant funding and an allocation from the Clermont County Commissioners. The city is contributing funds toward decorative railing and new lighting. In 2021, the city and Hamilton County submitted a joint grant application to replace the north sidewalk, as well the railings, walls and bridge abutments. However, private utility relocation for conduit located within the sidewalks delayed the project. In July 2022, the north side of the bridge's sidewalk was paved with asphalt for pedestrian safety. The bidding and contract for the project is being managed by Hamilton County.  The bridge is expected to remain open to traffic with a reduced number of lanes during the repairs.  
Start Date: Winter 2023
Estimated Completion: Summer 2024

Start Date: August 2023
Estimated Completion: Dec. 1, 2023

East Loveland Avenue Improvements 

This is a collaborative project between the City, Clermont County, and MSD. Clermont County is providing $478,320 for the replacement of the bridge on East Loveland Avenue over Bares Run, near #250 E. Loveland Ave. Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) will replace and upsize about 1,300 LF of the sanitary sewer, from #220 to #362 E. Loveland Ave. MSD is paying a total of approximately $686,200 for the sanitary sewer work. The city is receiving $722,400 of State grant funding to install sidewalks on both sides of the road between #227 to #356, relocate water main around the future bridge wingwalls, make storm sewer system improvements, and repave a portion of the roadway while the bridge replacement project is being performed.  While some aspects of the work may be performed with a single lane closure and maintaining traffic with flaggers, the bridge replacement will require a full roadway closure and detour route. The bridge replacement portion of the project will not commence until O'Bannonville Rd. has re-opened to traffic.
Estimated Start Date: November 2023
Estimated Completion: August 2024
