Lane Closures on East 4th Street in Lytle Park for Demolition Project
May 11, 2021
CINCINNATI - A stretch of East Fourth Street in Lytle Park from Lawrence to Broadway streets will be closed daily for approximately one month beginning early next week.
The daytime closure, which is scheduled to go into effect by or before Wednesday, May 12, is needed to accommodate equipment and crews that will be demolishing adjacent buildings at 420 and 424 E. Fourth St.
As part of its site preparation, the contractor will close the northern-most curb lane of Fourth between Lawrence and Broadway beginning tomorrow, Saturday, May 8.
The start date of the full closure of Fourth Street depends on when the contractor completes site preparation.
Please note: Once the daily full closure is in place, one lane will reopen to through traffic nightly after crews finish work at 5:00 p.m. A single lane will remain open nightly Monday through Friday until crews return at approximately 7:00 a.m.
During the daytime closure, motorists heading west on Fourth Street will be detoured south at Pike Street, east onto Third, south onto Eggleston Avenue, west onto Pete Rose Way and north onto Broadway.
In addition, Lawrence Street between Fourth and Fifth streets will be fully closed for a month from approximately May 31 to June 30. Motorists on Fourth will be detoured to Broadway.
The north sidewalk closest to the demo site also will be closed for the duration of the project. Pedestrians will be detoured around the site via the south sidewalk along Fourth. The project is expected to wrap up by early July.
Local access for businesses and residences will be maintained.
Detour signage will be posted to help guide motorists and pedestrians.
The city of Cincinnati will share updates on the lane closures as demolition progresses.
