Note: As
a courtesy to local motorists and in the interest of construction
site safety, this notice is delivered on BCEO letterhead to all
residents and businesses in and near the project area.
Indian Creek Road is
tentatively scheduled to close between Imhoff Road and King Road
for three culvert replacements beginning Monday, March 24, 2008.
Work on these projects is expected to take about three weeks
to complete, weather permitting.
The first two culverts
are located approximately 800 feet north of Imhoff Road and 1.1
miles south of King Road. Work on these culverts is tentatively
scheduled for completion around April 1, 2008, at which time
crews will move to the third culvert which is located 0.9 mile
north of Imhoff and 0.5 mile south of King Road. Work on the
third culvert is expected to be completed with the road fully
reopening the week of April 7, 2008.
While the first two
culverts are under construction, local access will be from the
north since the nearby bridge over Indian Creek is still closed
for construction. Once crews begin work on the third culvert,
local residents south of the culvert will will utilize Indian
Creek Road south to Imhoff Road and take Imhoff to Ohio 732.
Local residents north of the culvert will utilize Indian Creek
Road north to King or Riggs Road.
Emergency personnel,
school bus transportation officials, the post office, and the
media have been notified of these closings. The information is
also posted on our web site at www.bceo.org/roadclosings.html.
We apologize for the
inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
The Project
These projects are
necessary to replace aging and deteriorating structures in an
effort to prevent potential future structural failure and maintain
proper drainage and water flow. All work is being performed by
crews from the Butler County Engineer's Office and project funding
consists of 100 percent local BCEO funds.

every effort to keep residents and businesses in a project area

Your Safety
The BCEO would like
to emphasize the importance of proper safety measures during
actual construction. Every precaution will be taken to make the
construction sites as safe as possible. However, we do ask that
you and your family be aware of the potential hazards associated
with work areas such as this. Please advise everyone to keep
out of the construction sites as much as possible to reduce the
risk of accidents.
Your assistance would
also be appreciated in reporting any instances of vandalism,
including the removal of lights, signs, or barricades. Such acts
of vandalism can seriously jeopardize the safety of motorists
and pedestrians in the construction area. Please contact our
Office or the Butler County Sheriff at 785-1300 or 424-0469 to
report any suspected vandalism.
We realize that construction
can create some inconveniences and annoyances, but everything
possible will be done to keep these to a minimum during this
series of projects. Thanks again for your patience.
