Traffic Alert Extension:
Lane Closures on Riverside Drive Extended Due to Water Main Repairs

CINCINNATI – Lane closures on Riverside Drive will be extended until approximately Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020, due to complications related to the repair of a water main in this area.

 

Posted below are specific details about this project as well as other traffic considerations to assist with trip planning. Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) encourages drivers to allow extra time for daily commutes and to seek alternate routes where possible.
 

There will be no water service outages due to the repairs.

Riverside Drive in East End
The westbound lane of Riverside Drive will remain reduced to one lane, west of Bains Street, and all eastbound lanes will remain closed until the end of February 2020, pending weather and field conditions. These closures will remain in place around-the-clock. A marked detour via Columbia Parkway will be in place for eastbound traffic.

The lane closures are necessary to repair a large, transmission water main.

In addition to the traffic impacts on Riverside, westbound Columbia Parkway is reduced to one lane between Delta Avenue and Torrence Parkway around the clock and between William Howard Taft Road and Kemper Lane from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays, as part of the Columbia Parkway Hillside Stabilization Project.
