CINCINNATI  –  Lane restrictions will be in place on Freedom Way tomorrow, Wednesday, May 18, as crews paint new stripes on the stretch between Race and Rosa Parks streets. Through access will be allowed but motorists should expect intermittent delays while work is under way from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Flaggers will be on site to direct motorists.

The restriping marks a construction milestone for the new General Electric U.S. Global Operations Center and adjacent Radius at The Banks apartments. Construction on the apartments finished in March and work is due to finish on GE by early September.
The new striping will designate one through lane in each direction as well as left turn lanes at the intersections of Race on the western end of Freedom Way and at the intersection of Rosa Parks on the east.
Meanwhile, progress continues on the parking structure just south of Freedom Way and the new buildings. Crews will pour the surface layer of concrete tomorrow on the stub of Race Street now extending south into the parking structure. The pour will take place within the construction site starting at approximately 4:00 a.m.

This new access to Race Street is expected to open by Sept. 1.

The flatbed tractor-trailer carrying the streetcar will travel north on Race via Liberty Street.

It will take approximately 90 minutes for the streetcar to be unloaded onto the tracks adjacent to the MOF at 1927 Race Street.
 
Race Street south of Findlay to Liberty will reopen once the tractor-trailer passes through this stretch. All streets will be reopened after the streetcar is unloaded and delivered into the MOF.
 
On-street parking will be restricted along Race for the delivery.
 
The vehicle was assembled by CAF USA in Elmira, N.Y. It will undergo on-track acceptance testing in Cincinnati later this week or next.
