West Chester U.S. Route 42 Road Widening

The U.S. Route 42 (Cincinnati-Columbus Road) road widening project includes the widening of U.S. Route 42 to three lanes to provide a through land in each direction and a middle two-way left-turn lane from U.S. Route 42 from Fields-Ertel Road north to Butler-Warren Road. Specifically, just north of Windwood Drive to just south of Butler-Warren Road. This widening is for areas where there is currently no turn lane. The project also includes the left turn lanes on both approaches of Dimmick Road, which is designed to provide safer roadway conditions for the traveling public. Project is scheduled to begin Spring 2011 with completion slated for Fall 2012.
