About the Study
West Loveland Avenue is the only way for motorists to cross the Little Miami River within Loveland city limits. The nearest river crossing to the north is located in Maineville on Montgomery Road, while the nearest crossing to the south is located in Symmes Township on Hopewell Road.
In addition, Loveland’s Historic Downtown District is a built-in area with little to no room for road widening, which means the most likely solution is to provide alternate routes for through traffic in neighboring communities. While the city’s initial investigation focuses on Downtown Loveland, the final preferred alternative is likely to require road improvements elsewhere, up to and including the construction of a new river crossing.
