BATAVIA TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Clough Pike will close to through traffic for five days beginning Aug. 31 so a contractor can complete a sanitary sewer tie-in for the second phase of the Olivewood Park development, the Clermont County Engineer’s Office said in a notice posted to Facebook.
The closure covers Clough Pike about 310 feet north of Presidential Drive and will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from Monday, Aug. 31, through Friday, Sept. 4, according to the engineer’s office. The work is needed to complete the Olivewood Phase 2 sanitary sewer tie-in, the office said.
Drivers will be routed around a detour spanning about 3.63 miles, or 19,190 feet, the engineer’s office said. Students in the Batavia Local and West Clermont Local school districts are affected by the closure, according to the notice.
The sewer work is tied to Olivewood Park, a residential community under construction off Amelia-Olive Branch Road in Batavia Township. The development, built by Fischer Homes in partnership with Schnicke Development Group, spans 18 acres and is planned for 82 paired patio homes, according to Schnicke Development Group. Olivewood Avenue, the development’s main street, connects Amelia-Olive Branch Road to Clough Pike.
The Clermont County Engineer’s Office maintains roads and bridges throughout the county’s townships. Residents with questions about the closure can contact the office directly, according to the notice.
