CINCINNATI – Distinctive new signs will help commuters and pedestrians get a quick pulse on construction activity at work sites throughout the Central Business District, Over-the-Rhine and The Banks.

The signs, posted at construction sites throughout Downtown, are a new permit requirement by the City’s Department of Transportation & Engineering. They display the type of project, the contractor responsible for it, and the project's duration.

The signs also list a contact phone number for the contractor to get more information and direct the public to follow @RoadmapCincy, the City’s communications initiative, for tips on navigating construction zones affecting Downtown streets and sidewalks.

For the next several years, multiple projects will be occurring throughout Downtown. The City works to coordinate permits in a way that will minimize disruption to residents, businesses and workers – but with the construction boom, many streets are affected.

“These new signs should help commuters and pedestrians better understand who is doing what project in our streets and for how long,” said Michael Moore, Director of Transportation & Engineering.  “They provide information at a glance that helps folks get their questions answered. Downtown is growing and transforming, which is exciting but also challenging in the short term.”

The City requires contractors to post the new signs at job sites if work will last more than two weeks.

CINCINNATI – Eighth Street between Vine and Walnut will be closed from 7:00 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26, until 6:00 a.m. Monday, Sept. 29, so crews may install track for the Cincinnati Streetcar at the Walnut Street intersection.

At least one lane of Walnut Street will remain open throughout the weekend as crews install track and weld it in place, add reinforcing steel and pour concrete. An additional lane on Walnut will be opened as field conditions allow.

Detour signs will be posted to direct motorists around the site. Local access will be maintained.

For questions about streetcar construction, contact Dave Krusling at dave.krusling@cincinnati-oh.gov or 513-379-8108.
