Final Round of Surface Treatments Underway in Kennedy Heights, Pleasant Ridge

Oct 05, 2017

CINCINNATI – The last of this year’s surface treatments are being applied on nearly 60 streets this week and next in Kennedy Heights and Pleasant Ridge. The treatments are part of the city’s comprehensive preventive maintenance program funded by the Capital Acceleration Plan.

Crews finished surface treatments on more than 200 streets in eight other neighborhoods this summer: College Hill, Westwood, East Westwood, North Fairmount, South Fairmount, English Woods, Queensgate and the West End.

In addition to surface treatments, the preventive maintenance work included pavement repairs and crack sealing, as needed.

Crews are finishing crack seal applications and starting partial-depth repairs, as needed, along River Road between Fairbanks and Dart avenues in Riverside. All work is scheduled to finish by the end of this month.

Visit the contractor’s website at www.cincystreets.com to see the list of streets and estimated schedule by neighborhood.

Dates are subject to change due to weather and field conditions. For updates, check the website, follow @RoadmapCincy on Twitter or call 614-276-5501.

Please note: The work requires parking and driving restrictions to allow time for a surface treatment to set up and cure properly. A door hanger with specific instructions will be left at homes and businesses affected by the work approximately 48 hours in advance.

The contractor also will post “no parking” signs on each street prior to the start of work. In most cases, temporary restrictions will be in place for less than 24 hours and a street will be reopened by the end of the day. Violators will be towed per city ordinance.

Crews generally work 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday but are allowed to work later into the evening, as needed.

All roads will be reopened to through traffic during non-work hours.

Any rescheduled work will be performed the following day, in most cases.

The City’s Capital Acceleration Plan is a six-year initiative to improve streets and replace police vehicles that began in 2016.
