May 20, 2010 update:
In June 2010 construction on the Hamilton Mason Road Intersection of
the By-Pass will begin. When this occurs, the west portion of
Hamilton Mason Road will be closed until approximately November of
2010. See
traffic detours for this section of the project.
April 2010 update:
On April 7th, Government Officials met to put the first shovels in
the ground at the southern portion of the highly anticipated $32.2
million multi-phase Bypass Ohio 4 improvement project. Over the next
three years, this project will construct six lanes from Symmes to
Tylersville roads, which will go down to four lanes just South of
the 129 bridge. Three Bypass intersections- Symmes, Tylersville, and
Hamilton-Mason roads will be transformed into U-turn concept
intersections known as "super streets." As many businesses have
acknowledged that the current Bypass needs to be fixed, this three
year construction project may create some additional traffic issues
for your business and employees. With over 50 businesses being
directly impacted, the importance of the Bypass 4 improvements to
current and future economic development cannot be overstated!
In the "super street" design vehicles on the main road use the
conventional lanes, while through traffic and left-turning from side
streets use median U-turns. The design’s main benefit is that it
makes it easy for drivers on the main road (Bypass 4) to continue
getting green lights at intersections, thus reducing stops and
delays. In the “super street” design, a driver for instance
westbound on Hamilton-Mason Road in order to continue west on that
road would (1) turn right, or northbound, onto the Bypass, (2)
progress to the left median crossover, (3)make a left U-turn onto
the southbound Bypass lanes and (4) then turn right at
Hamilton-Mason. Through traffic on the Bypass would continue without
turns.
During this entire three year construction period, the Chamber's
website will be your source to learn the latest on the communication
related to this project. Questions your business may have about this
project will be answered on our website. These questions include:
• Will any roads be closed during construction?
• How will the “super street” intersection work when complete?
• What will the traffic patterns be during construction?
• Will there be detours during construction?
• Who do I contact for specific questions during construction?
Please feel free to contact
the Chamber with any questions about the Bypass 4 project. In 2008,
the Chamber held a meeting with interested businesses to learn more
about the design of the Bypass improvement plan. We plan on holding
periodic meetings with businesses in the Bypass 4 area to
communicate updates as major phases of this project begin. Also,
visit the
Butler County TID for more information.
The Chamber is your advocate when dealing with difficult issues that
impact your business. We know that there will be some pain and
hardships associated with the construction of the Bypass 4
improvement project. When complete, we trust that the result will
lead to a better transportation plan for you and your employees. For
