U.S. 50 Bridge Rehab and Resurfacing Project Update

Hamilton County (Thursday, May 2, 2024) – As work continues on the U.S. 50 bridge rehabilitation and resurfacing project in eastern Hamilton County, traffic will be switched into the next phase beginning today.

Starting this afternoon, Thursday, May 2, westbound U.S. 50 traffic from the village of Fairfax will be in contraflow lane until approximately late November. In addition, the exit from Redbank Expressway to westbound U.S. 50 will be closed throughout this new phase. During closure, traffic will be detoured via Wooster Pike to westbound U.S. 50.

Also, the ramp from Redbank Expressway to eastbound U.S. 50 will be closed intermittently during the overnight hours (between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. the following day), for deck removal operations. During closure, traffic will be detoured via Wooster Pike and U.S. 50. The lane width will be 11’ wide in each direction.

Pavement work on U.S. 50 in Terrace Park will also start, with resurfacing work to follow, and all traffic will be maintained with flagging operations.

The Eagle Bridge Company was awarded a contract for approximately $14.8 million to undertake the project, and all work is scheduled to be complete in the fall of 2025.

U.S. 50 Bridge Rehab, Resurfacing Project Gets Under Way

Hamilton County (Saturday, April 20, 2024) – A bridge rehabilitation and resurfacing project is getting under way on U.S. Route 50 in eastern Hamilton County, and single-lane closures are in effect in the village of Fairfax.

Contractors for the Ohio Department of Transportation will be rehabilitating the set of bridges over the railroad lines, Duck Creek and Red Bank Road, as well as the structures over the Red Bank Road interchange ramps at Fairfax by replacing the bridge decks, backwalls, expansion joints, and approach slabs. The project also includes resurfacing U.S. 50 in the villages of Fairfax and Terrace Park.

During the initial stages of construction, traffic is being maintained in one lane in each direction between the S.R. 125/Beechmont Avenue interchange and Harvard Acres Drive while crews construct crossovers that will be used to shift traffic into contraflow lanes.

Once the crossovers are constructed, bi-directional will be maintained in either direction throughout the next several months to allow for the bridge demolition and reconstruction in the opposing direction. Paving operations will take place following the bridge work, and traffic will be maintained in both directions through either work zone.

The Eagle Bridge Company was awarded a contract for approximately $14.8 million to undertake the project, and all work is scheduled to be complete in the fall of 2025.
