Butler County Engineer
Greg Wilkens reports that a newly relocated section of Kyles
Station Road in Liberty Township is set to open on Friday. Under
construction since early May, the new road will intersect with
Ohio 4 across from Elk Run Drive, approximately half a mile from
its former location.
"The project was
designed to create a safer intersection that will be fully signalized,"
said Wilkens. "Not only will the new intersection be much
safer for motorists turning to and from Kyles Station Road, but
the spacing between this and adjacent signals on Route 4 will
facilitate smoother traffic flow."
The $1.1 million project
was a joint effort involving the BCEO, the Ohio Department of
Transportation (ODOT), and private interests. ODOT funded the
signals while the BCEO was responsible for pavement and pavement
markings. Right-of-way and other aspects of the project were
donated by private development.
Traffic
Advisory
New signals at the
Ohio 4 and newly relocated Kyles Station Road intersection are
currently on flash mode. These signals will become fully operational
in stop-and-go mode beginning this Friday, June 15, when the
new section of Kyles Station opens. Motorists are urged to approach
the intersection with caution during this transitional phase.
Old Kyles
Station Road
The old section of
Kyles Station Road will be renamed Old Kyles Station Road and
access will be limited at Ohio 4 -- the north leg will be cul-de-sacked
and only northbound Ohio 4 traffic will be permitted to turn
eastbound onto Old Kyles Station. Motorists will not be able
to turn onto Ohio 4 from this point. Please click here
