Queen City Avenue between Harrison Avenue and White Street
will be repaved in 2021

CINCINNATI – Queen City Avenue between Harrison Avenue and White Street in South Fairmount will be repaved in 2021 following completion of the Lick Run Greenway project. An update about the project and expected paving schedule will be shared in the spring.

The contract for paving will be put out for bid in early 2021. Construction will be managed by the City of Cincinnati’s Department of Transportation & Engineering (DOTE) in coordination with and the support of the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD).

The full-width repavement of this roadway, including curb repair where necessary, needs to wait until completion of the Lick Run Greenway project due to continued work in and along Queen City Avenue and the presence of heavy construction equipment on the roadway.

Thank you for your patience during this ongoing project. The current condition of Queen City Avenue is due to multiple utility relocations and the installation of new storm sewers. The repaving of Queen City Avenue is a high priority to MSD and DOTE, and the work will be expedited if possible.

Work on the Lick Run Greenway is ongoing, and various temporary lane restrictions remain in effect along Harrison Avenue, Queen City Avenue, Westwood Avenue, and adjacent streets. If you are driving in the area, please plan for delays, drive with caution, or find an alternate route.
