UNION TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Beechwood Road will close to through traffic from Sept. 8 through Sept. 18 so crews can complete drainage improvements, the Clermont County Engineer’s Office said.
The closure covers the section of Beechwood Road between the addresses of 4876 and 4908, with work scheduled from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, according to the engineer’s office. Access to homes within the closure limits will be maintained by the crew on site throughout the project, the office said.
A posted detour route will guide through traffic around the work zone for the duration of the closure, the engineer’s office said. The office asked motorists to use alternate routes and allow extra travel time, saying delays should be expected.
The project is part of the engineer’s office’s ongoing work to maintain drainage infrastructure across the county, including culvert pipes, ditching and stormwater systems designed to keep roads from flooding and eroding.
The Clermont County Engineer’s Office, led by County Engineer Jeremy Evans, is responsible for about 385 miles of county roads and bridges, along with traffic studies, signal design and right-of-way work. The department resurfaced 36 miles of county roads in 2025, part of a five-year effort that has repaved 178 miles — nearly half the county’s road mileage.
Beechwood Road runs through Union Township, Clermont County’s most populous township with about 49,639 residents as of the 2020 census. The township sits at the convergence of state Route 32 and Interstate 275, making it a hub of population and commercial growth in the county’s eastern half.
