TATE TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Williamsburg-Bantam Road will close to through traffic for a week starting July 27 while crews replace culverts and make drainage repairs, the Clermont County Engineer’s Office said in a Facebook post.
The closure runs from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, Monday, July 27, through Friday, July 31, according to the engineer’s office. Crews will repair and replace culverts, repair berms, and clean and reshape ditches along the road as needed, the office said.
The first stretch of work is set to begin between the addresses of 2621 and 2627 Williamsburg-Bantam Road, according to a map the engineer’s office posted alongside the announcement. Crews will then move east to the next closure point as work is completed, the map shows.
A posted detour will route drivers around the closed section, adding about 4.76 miles, or 25,136 feet, to the trip, according to the engineer’s office. The office asked drivers to follow the posted detour signs and to be patient as crews complete the work.
Bethel-Tate Local School District, which the engineer’s office listed as the school district affected by the closure, serves Bethel and Tate Township and enrolls about 1,346 students across four schools, according to federal education data.
The Clermont County Engineer’s Office’s highway operations division handles culvert installation, drainage improvements and berm and shoulder work on county roads, in addition to bridge construction, pothole repairs, guardrail work and snow and ice removal, according to the office’s website.
