COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio — After Colerain police first posted Monday night about a hole in the road on Colerain Avenue, impacting the westbound lanes of I-275, the Ohio Department of Transportation said contractors will begin work to repair the hole Tuesday.
Pictures posted by police show a hole that can be seen from below Colerain Avenue.
ODOT said a section of the concrete deck on the Colerain Avenue bridge over I-275 "became compromised" June 9, creating holes. Crews from ODOT and Prus Construction Company will start their work tonight with plans for repairs to be completed by Friday, June 20.
The right northbound lanes of Colerain Avenue will be closed until all repairs have been completed. Additionally, crews will have two lanes closed from 6:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. every day while working on the road. During that time, all traffic will be shifted into the left-turn lane.
ODOT said the left lane on the exit ramp from eastbound I-275 to Colerain Avenue will also be closed.
Westbound I-275 will also deal with single- and double-lane closures from 6:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. each day.
