A major Hamilton traffic fix is expected to be finished by early September

Contractors now are working on the Eaton Avenue leg of the intersection, getting the sub-grade ready and bringing in stone that will be laid down before that roadway is paved. They also soon will be working on curbs.

“Their plan is to complete it by early September,” he said.

The crossroads of Main Street, Millville Avenue and Eaton Avenue is a high-crash area, which from 2008-10 had 50 wrecks, ranking it among among Ohio’s “Top 100 Non-Freeway Fatal and Serious Injury Locations” at the time.

Because it is a high-crash location, the Ohio Department of Transportation is paying for 90 percent of the estimated $3.2 million cost. The project also should improve traffic flow.
