TATE TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A stretch of Spring Grove Road in Tate Township will close to through traffic for more than two months this summer and fall as crews replace an aging bridge, the Clermont County Engineer’s Office said.
The closure is scheduled to run from Monday, July 27, through Friday, Oct. 2, according to the engineer’s office. During that window, Spring Grove Road will be shut to through traffic between addresses 3749 and 3756 so the project’s contractor can complete the replacement of Bridge No. C114-0.43.
A marked detour of about 7.77 miles will route drivers around the work zone using nearby county roads and State Route 125, according to a map released by the office. The Bethel-Tate Local School District is the district affected by the closure, the office said.
Bridge replacements are among the core responsibilities of the county engineer, an office that under Ohio law is charged with the design, construction, maintenance and repair of the county’s roads and bridges. State law also requires the engineer to inspect every county bridge each year.
The Clermont County Engineer’s Office maintains 387.2 centerline miles of county highways, 423 bridges and roughly 2,970 roadway culverts, according to the office. Spring Grove Road Bridge No. C114-0.43 is one of those structures.
The office directed residents seeking more information to its website and asked for patience during the work. “Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this necessary bridge replacement project,” the office said in a post.
