New street closings listed
Goal: Less downtown chaos

Hoping to avoid a repeat of the April 13 traffic gridlock caused by street construction, Cincinnati officials have released information on new street closings that go into effect Monday.
“We are trying to get better notification out to people so they know what to expect,” said Don Gindling with the Department of Transportation and Engineering.
“We learned a couple of lessons from last time. We will try to avoid work during morning rush hour, and we will post police at the intersections.”
The intersection of Third and Elm will be closed through June so that crews may reconstruct the intersection.
During this time, Elm Street will be converted to two-way traffic between Third and Fourth streets to accommodate local traffic only. For access to Elm Street, motorists are advised to use Central Avenue and McFarland Street as alternate routes.
Also Monday, the intersection of Third and Main will be closed to traffic for reconstruction. It will remain closed through May 29.
Main Street will also be converted to two-way traffic between Third and Fourth streets to accommodate local traffic only. For access to Main Street from Third Street, motorists are advised to use Broadway north to Fourth Street to Main.
With the completion of construction at the intersection of Third and Walnut streets, Vine Street will be converted back to one-way northbound traffic.
