  • Current traffic pattern and detour will remain in place through Sept. 15 on Branch Hill-Guinea Pike

    Current traffic pattern and detour will remain in place through Sept. 15 on Branch Hill-Guinea Pike

    Road closure on the southern end of Branch Hill-Guinea Pike and Weber Road will remain in place through Saturday, Sept. 15.

    Info provided for access to Boyd E. Smith Elementary School

    Miami Township, Ohio – The Clermont County Engineer has provided an update on the widening work taking place on Branch Hill-Guinea Pike from Bridle Path Lane to Jer-Les Drive.

    “Weather and unexpected underground utility issues have extended the length of time crews will need to safely open Branch Hill-Guinea Pike to two-way traffic,” said Engineer Patrick Manger. “As a result, the current road closure on the southern end of Branch Hill-Guinea Pike and Weber Road will remain in place through Saturday, Sept. 15.”



    The Branch Hill-Guinea Pike widening project will add a center turn lane and paved shoulders on Branch Hill-Guinea Pike, as well as a sidewalk along the east side of the road from Bridle Path Lane to Jer-Les Drive. Drainage improvements also will be made. In addition to the roadway work, improvements will be made at the intersection of Branch Hill-Guinea Pike and Cook Road/Weber Road, including upgraded traffic signals and the addition of designated turn lanes.

    During this time, permissible traffic movements will be:

    • Right turn only from Branch Hill-Guinea Pike to Cook Road
    • Left turn only from Cook Road to Branch Hill-Guinea Pike

    Access to the nearby Boyd E. Smith Elementary School will be open as usual from the south end of the project. Parents and staff will be able to access Jer-Les Drive from the south end of Branch Hill-Guinea Pike via SR 28.

    Manger added:

    Crews are moving as quickly as possible to complete work to support the long-term safety of the community and reiterated that the work on Branch Hill-Guinea Pike has multiple components that will improve safety and travel in the area. A new center turn lane will support smoother travel and help to reduce potential accidents by separating turning traffic from through traffic. The addition of a new sidewalk will provide safer pedestrian access in the area, and drainage improvements will enhance stormwater management along the road and in the surrounding subdivisions.

  • Kaisich approves Disaster Relief Program for Clermont jurisdictions impacted by February storms

    Kaisich approves Disaster Relief Program for Clermont jurisdictions impacted by February storms

    Batavia, Ohio – The Clermont County Emergency Agency was notified on July 25 that Gov. John Kasich approved the implementation of the State Disaster Relief Program (SDRP) for local government agencies in Clermont County impacted by the Ohio River flood and tornado that occurred this past February.

    These jurisdictions have the potential to be reimbursed up to an estimated $943,000. Each eligible agency must submit a letter of intent to apply to the Ohio Emergency Management Agency, which is coordinating this effort, by Aug. 24. The Ohio EMA will then get funding approval from the State Controlling Board, which meets on Sept. 10, before distributing any funds.

    These expenses represent local government outlays during the flood and tornado, including debris removal, life-saving emergency protective measures, and the repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged publicly-owned facilities. This funding is available to the local political subdivisions and non-profit organizations that participated in the damage assessment process.

    The jurisdictions and potential reimbursement amounts are:

    Batavia Township – $104,000

    Clermont County Engineer – $266,139.63

    Clermont County Sheriff – $9,237.95

    Washington Township – $58,719.40

    Village of New Richmond – $124,811.80

    Clermont County Commissioners – $11,351.34

    Franklin Township – $246,277.44

    Monroe Township – $18,081.46

    Pierce Township – $44,601.78

    Village of Moscow – $30,000

    Clermont Municipal Court – $5,089

    Clermont County Park District – $3,500

    Adams-Clermont Solid Waste District – $21,000

    Countywide Total                                            $942,809.80

    Previously, these Clermont County jurisdictions had submitted an application to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for disaster relief through its Public Assistance Program. FEMA denied certain expenses that it considered ineligible as FEMA was unable to determine that the damage was caused specifically during the February storms.

    Under the SDRP, the state will reimburse 75% of eligible expenses. Each government agency will be responsible for the balance of the expenses.

  • Branch Hill-Guinea Pike – Bridle Path Lane – Jer-Les Drive – Cook Road – Weber Road construction set to begin

    Branch Hill-Guinea Pike – Bridle Path Lane – Jer-Les Drive – Cook Road – Weber Road construction set to begin

    Detours will be put into place for through traffic

    Batavia, Ohio – The Clermont County Engineer’s Office today announced “safety and access improvements” that will take place along Branch Hill-Guinea Pike from Bridle Path Lane to Jer-Les Drive, as well as the related traffic impacts during the course of the project.

    The Branch Hill-Guinea Pike widening project will add a center turn lane and paved shoulders on Branch Hill-Guinea Pike, as well as a sidewalk along the east side of the road from Bridle Path Lane to Jer-Les Drive. Drainage improvements also will be made. In addition to the roadway work, improvements will be made at the intersection of Branch Hill-Guinea Pike and Cook Road/Weber Road, including upgraded traffic signals and designated turn lanes.

    The project will be completed in three phases:

    • Phase 1 is expected to last approximately five weeks, from June 4 through July 9. During Phase 1, work will take place on the northern end of Branch Hill-Guinea Pike and Cook Road.
    • Phase 2 is expected to last approximately five weeks, from July 9 through Aug. 15. During Phase 2, work will take place on the southern end of Branch Hill-Guinea Pike and Weber Road.

    During both phases, a detour will be put into place for through traffic. Access within the project area will be maintained for local property owners only.

    • Phase 3 of work will take place from Aug. 15 through the fall but will not result in full-time road closures. All roads will be reopened to through traffic with only minor temporary closures taking place as crews complete the final pieces of the project.

    Clermont County Engineer Pat Manger said that the work on Branch Hill-Guinea Pike has multiple components that will improve safety and travel in the area. “A new center turn lane will support smoother travel and help to reduce potential accidents by separating turning traffic from through traffic,” said Manger. “The addition of a new sidewalk will provide safer pedestrian access in the area, and drainage improvements will enhance stormwater management along the road and in the surrounding subdivisions.”

    Miami Township Administrator Jeff Wright highlighted the project team that is working together to support the improvements saying, “The Branch Hill-Guinea Pike widening project is being completed in partnership with Miami Township, Milford Schools and the Clermont County Transportation Improvement District to improve access to Boyd E. Smith Elementary School and support safer travel along Branch Hill-Guinea Pike. The safety of our local students and their families is one of our highest priorities, and the township is pleased to work with the school district and the county to ensure we continue to provide better connections and service to our residents.”
