UPDATE, SEPT. 29, 2021: Crews are making casting adjustments and pouring concrete for new curbs and sidewalks on Queen City Avenue in South Fairmount. This work will continue for at least three more weeks with plans to pave the roadway between State Avenue and White Street by late October.
 

CINCINNATI – The City of Cincinnati Department of Transportation & Engineering (DOTE) is starting a street rehabilitation and repaving project on Queen City Avenue on Monday, July 19, extending over a mile between State Avenue and White Street. The $4.5 million project includes rehabilitation of 13 additional streets in the West Side neighborhoods of South Fairmount, East Price Hill, West Price Hill and Lower Price Hill.
 
The project is being constructed in two phases with several streets slated to be finished this fall and the remainder in 2022. It includes new traffic-calming measures on Queen City and Westwood avenues, major streets that run along the Metropolitan Sewer District’s recently completed Lick Run Greenway.
 
Streets in this year’s first phase include:
•    Queen City Avenue from State Avenue to White Street
•    Westwood Avenue from Harrison Avenue to Queen City Bypass
•    Harrison Avenue from Western Hills Viaduct to Queen City Avenue
•    Beekman Street from Queen City Avenue to just south of Tremont Street 
 
Streets in the second phase, slated for completion in 2022, include:
•    Academy Avenue from Eighth Street to St. Lawrence Avenue
•    Beaumont Place from its east terminus to Crestline Avenue
•    Church Street from its south terminus to St. Michael Street
•    Elberon Avenue from State Avenue to Purcell Avenue 
•    Neave Street from its south terminus to Staebler Street
•    Pardee Alley from Burns Street to State Avenue
•    Purcell Avenue from Price Avenue to Warsaw Avenue
•    Staebler Street from its east terminus to State Avenue
•    Storrs Street from Burns Street to State Avenue
•    Warsaw Avenue from Sixth Street viaduct ramps to Wilder Avenue
 
As part of the project, crews will improve and enhance pavement markings to help motorists better distinguish the lanes along Queen City and Westwood avenues. Crews also will install vertical paddles on Queen City to further help motorists identify lane changes. 

Commuters should expect single-lane closures in works zones, though through traffic will be allowed on all streets during the project.
 
DOTE will share updates on lane closures as work progresses via its @RoadmapCincy Twitter feed. 
 
The contractor is Prus Construction. The project is funded by the City of Cincinnati.
