CINCINNATI – Crews have begun $7.6 million in extensive repairs to 44 streets in Kennedy Heights, Madisonville, Pleasant Ridge, Avondale, North Avondale, Corryville and Evanston.
The work, which includes grinding off existing roadway surfaces, full-depth repairs and a new surface layer of pavement, is funded as part of the city’s Capital Acceleration Plan. The rehab portion of CAP totals $9.9 million this year, covering eight neighborhoods, 50 streets and 37 lane miles of improvements.
Another $2.3 million in rehabilitation on six streets has begun in Northside, starting this week with Spring Grove Avenue at Elmore Street to Crawford Avenue.
Most of the major, full-depth repairs in Kennedy Heights, Madisonville, Pleasant Ridge, Avondale, North Avondale, Corryville and Evanston have been made. Reconstruction of Highland Avenue near the Lester Road intersection in Pleasant Ridge was completed last week and has been reopened. Crews are now grinding and leveling streets.
Please see below for a complete list of streets scheduled for rehabilitation this summer.
The type of work varies based on the condition of each street but generally includes:
- Grinding and paving
- Replacing curbs and curb ramps
- Repairing driveway aprons and sidewalks, as required
- Adjusting utility castings to grade
- Final surface coat of new pavement
- Line striping
Rehab work takes about two months to complete per street. On most streets, at least two lanes will remain open to through traffic during repairs. Local access to residences and businesses will be available at all times.
All roads will be reopened to through traffic during non-work hours.
On-street parking may be prohibited, as needed, to accommodate crews. Signs will be posted in advance to allow motorists time to find alternate parking options. In most cases, these temporary restrictions will be in place for less than 24 hours and a street will be reopened by 6:00 p.m. Violators will be towed per city ordinance.
All work is expected to be complete by Dec. 1. Look for updates throughout the summer.

About the Capital Acceleration Plan (CAP)
The Capital Acceleration Plan is improving streets and City owned vehicles to eliminate long-term maintenance and repairs costs. In terms of city streets, CAP provides $69 million in additional funding for improvements over the next six years. Combined with the annual street improvement program, outside grants and CAP, Cincinnati is investing approximately $172 million to rehabilitate or resurface more than half its 2,936 total lane miles in all 52 neighborhoods by June 30, 2021. This investment will improve safety, save money, enhance the city’s business environment and raise the overall quality of life for residents.
