Wall collapse will delay road reopening

HAMILTON TWP. - Part of Butterworth Road will remain closed indefinitely because a culvert headwall that holds the soil and road in place has collapsed.

The road will be closed from Fosters-Maineville Road to Sibcy Road while crews repair the stone headwall. It is not known how long that work will take, or if an outside contractor will be needed.

The Warren County Engineer's office was notified of the collapse Friday. Engineers are not sure why the headwall collapsed, though it is likely just because of age, according to assistant county engineer Roy Henson.

Traffic is being detoured to Ohio 48 and Fosters-Maineville Road.

Anyone with questions should contact the Warren County Engineer at 513-695-3301.
