The Fields-Ertel Widening Project will widen Fields-Ertel Road between Snider Road and Wilkens Boulevard from two to five lanes. Two lanes will be built in each direction, along with a center turn lane. In addition, intersection improvements will be made at Fields-Ertel Road and Snider Road, as well as at Fields-Ertel Road and Wilkens Boulevard. Curb, gutter, and storm/sewer improvements will be made and a sidewalk will be built along the north and south side of the project.
According to Symmes Township, currently, the road suffers from poor vertical alignment and sight distance issues. “In addition, the roadway is carrying more traffic than it was intended to, and congestion is a problem during peak travel times.”
The purpose of the proposed improvements is ‘to adjust the roadway alignment, support better connectivity and travel times, and make this section of road safer for those who travel through this busy area in southwest Warren County and northeast Hamilton County.
