Following recent adjustments to traffic signals, including work at Main and Martin Luther King, and the South Hamilton Crossing traffic project, additional driving and safety improvements are planned for Hamilton traffic. These improvements will involve construction.
Planned Driving and Safety Improvements
The city is undertaking several projects to improve Hamilton’s traffic flow and reduce car accidents, particularly downtown. These projects include major overhauls, intersection realignments, and the linking of Ohio State Route 4 to the West Side and Miami University, which is expected to be completed in August.
Preparing Main Street for Development
New streetlights and plans to simplify parking are part of the city's efforts. Additionally, there is news of a massive sports complex potentially coming to the city. Hamilton aims to prepare Main Street before this development begins.
Hamilton Traffic and Street Project
The intersection at Main, Millville, and Eaton will be realigned to enhance traffic flow and safety. The current awkward clustering and angles will be replaced with a single, conventionally structured intersection featuring 90° angles.
How’s that for boosting driving safety?
The Ohio Department of Transportation is contributing over $3 million towards this project due to the expected safety improvements.
Construction at Main, Millville, and Eaton
The intersection construction will proceed in three 6-month installments, beginning later in the summer:
- Eaton Avenue will be closed up to Park Avenue for 6 months.
- Millville Avenue will be closed, west of the intersection, for the subsequent 6 months.
- Main Street will experience lane restrictions during the following summer for 6 months.
- Main Street will also have a closure for the project’s final 2 weeks.
