FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A bridge replacement project that has closed Felicity Cedron Road in Franklin Township since midsummer will keep the route shut nearly a month longer than originally planned, the Clermont County Engineer’s Office said.
The road closure, previously expected to end Nov. 17, will now remain in effect through Wednesday, Dec. 16, the engineer’s office said in a Facebook post.
Crews closed the road on July 20 to replace Bridge No. C45-2.45, which carries Felicity Cedron Road over a creek southwest of the road’s intersection with Bartlow Road near the Clermont-Brown county line, according to the Clermont County Engineer’s Office. The Clermont County Transportation Improvement District is overseeing the project in cooperation with the engineer’s office.
Through traffic remains routed around the closure on a detour that follows Smith Landing Road, Ohio 52, East and Center streets, and Bartlow Road, according to the engineer’s office’s detour map.
The Felicity Cedron Road project is one of several bridge replacements the Clermont County Engineer’s Office has had underway this fall, alongside work on Spring Grove Road and Dry Run Road, as the office continues a broader push to replace aging bridge structures across the county.
