Princeton Road Liberty Township: A Brief Update on Upcoming Construction Projects

Residents in Liberty Township can expect some changes on Princeton Road as two major construction projects get underway. The Butler County Engineer's Office has announced that the road will be closed at the intersection of Mauds Hughes Road (south leg) and approximately 500 feet east of Gregory Creek, starting Wednesday, April 5, 2023.

While this may cause some inconvenience to motorists, rest assured that access will still be maintained for residents and other local traffic. The road closure is necessary to allow for the installation of a roundabout at the intersection of Princeton Road and the south leg of Mauds Hughes Road, as well as the replacement of an adjacent bridge.

The good news is that federal, state, and local funds have been secured to finance these projects, which will ultimately ease congestion and improve safety benefits on one of Butler County's most frequently traveled roadways. The Ohio Department of Transportation, Ohio Public Works Commission, BCEO, and Liberty Township have all contributed to the funding.

To ensure a smooth transition during construction, motorists may notice some utility work with flaggers prior to the road closure. This is expected to cause some delays on Monday, April 3, and Tuesday, April 4. However, once the road closure takes effect on Wednesday, April 5, traffic will be rerouted around the construction area.

The project has been awarded to Rack & Ballauer Excavating Co., Inc., with a bid of $4,630,394. The installation of the roundabout and bridge replacement is expected to be completed in early November 2023.

While some motorists may experience temporary delays during this time, the long-term benefits of these projects will undoubtedly be worth it. When complete, Princeton Road will be safer, more efficient, and better equipped to handle the high volume of traffic it receives daily.

Stay informed about any updates or changes to the construction schedule by checking with the Butler County Engineer's Office for the latest information.
