LANE CLOSURES ON COLUMBIA PARKWAY FOR BRUSH TRIMMING, PAVEMENT WORK 

CINCINNATI, NOV. 5, 2021 – Various daily lane closures will be in place the week of Nov. 8 along Columbia Parkway 
between Eggleston Avenue and Beechmont Avenue as crews for the city of Cincinnati trim 
brush and apply an anti-skid surface treatment to a section of the roadway.

Through traffic will be permitted at all times during both projects; however, motorists should 
expect various, intermittent lane closures wherever crews are working.

Beginning on Monday, Nov. 8 at 9:00 a.m., crews from the city’s Department of Public 
Services will begin brush trimming at Eggleston and proceed toward Beechmont over the 
following several days. The project includes work on ramps at Bains Street and Eastern 
Avenue at Phyllis Lane.

On Tuesday, Nov. 9, crews will begin pouring an anti-skid surface treatment at 9:00 a.m. 
along a curved stretch of Columbia Parkway near Audubon Street just east of the William 
Howard Taft Road-Torrence Parkway intersection. It’s part of a street rehabilitation project by 
the city’s Department of Transportation & Engineering.

Both projects are expected to wrap up by Friday, Nov. 12, weather permitting.

Motorists are reminded to use caution near the work zones for their safety and the safety of 
work crews. To avoid delays, detour via Eastern Avenue.
