CINCINNATI – West Fourth Street will be closed between Elm and Race streets this weekend so crews can remove a tower crane at the construction site of a 14-story apartment building. The closure is scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, and will remain in place until late afternoon Sunday, Sept 20.

Motorists traveling on Fourth Street will be detoured south at Race Street, west on Third Street, north on Elm and back to Fourth.

Local and pedestrian access will be allowed during the closure via the south sidewalk along Fourth Street. Delivery vehicles should use Benham Alley.

As part of the process, crews will use another crane to dismantle the tower crane.

The Fourth and Race project includes 225 apartment units, a garage and street-level retail.
