(Cincinnati, OH) - The City of Cincinnati reports Quebec Road between Westwood Avenue and Forbus Street in South Fairmount will be closed to all traffic starting Monday, Jan. 22, 2018 through early March 2018, pending weather and site conditions.
Access to the business and food truck at 1881 Westwood Avenue will be allowed via a 10-foot lane from Quebec Avenue at Forbus Street. Access to residences and businesses along Quebec Road and side streets will be from Glenway Avenue or Forbus Street.
The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD) and its contractor, Sunesis Construction, are installing new storm sewers along Quebec Road and adjacent side streets between Westwood Avenue in South Fairmount and Atson Lane in West Price Hill. The storm sewers will collect rainwater and convey it to the Lick Run Greenway in South Fairmount.
This effort, part of the Lick Run Project, will keep stormwater out of MSD’s combined sewer system and help reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) into the Mill Creek.
Road closures and/or lane restrictions will continue to happen as the storm sewer is installed along Quebec Road. Local access to homes and businesses will be maintained but delays are possible.
The project is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2018, with repaving and final restoration in Spring 2019.
Construction will occur primarily Monday through Friday during daylight hours, depending on weather and site conditions. Work on weekends may be necessary at times. The water main relocation may involve some night work.
