TRAFFIC ALERT
Montana Avenue Improvements
As part of the City of Cincinnati's ongoing investment in the neighborhood of Westwood, the Department of Transportation and Engineering has been conducting street improvement work on Montana Avenue to improve the safety of the corridor using modern design standards.
On Monday, Aug. 6, 2012, the City's contractor, the Prus Construction Company, will begin grinding and paving operations on Montana Avenue between Craig Avenue and Baltimore Avenue.
After the paving operation, Prus will install new lane striping. The new configuration will have one lane in each direction, and a turn lane in the center. Right turn lanes will be installed on Montana Avenue at the intersection with Westwood Northern Boulevard. Street parking will be eliminated within the limits of the project.
