A culvert replacement project has been scheduled for U.S. Route 68 in Brown County, and the route will be reduced to one lane of traffic for one day next week. On Wednesday, September 19, crews from the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Brown County facility will be replacing a culvert on U.S. 68 near the 38.4-mile marker, between County Road 65 (Vilvens Road) and state Route 131. Throughout the day, the route will be open to one lane of traffic and maintained by flaggers.
Although it will remain open to traffic, the route will be subject to short-term, intermittent periods of closure for crews to move equipment; the temporary periods of closure will be approximately 15 to 20 minutes in duration. Motorists are advised of periods of delay, and as there will be no posted detour, they may want to seek alternate routes. All work is anticipated to be completed by 4 p.m.; however, completion of the project will be contingent upon the weather.

Clermont County. “It's very important we get the boundaries of this infestation identified,” Gates said. “These surveys will help determine the full extent.” Gates said the other portion of the funds will be used by the ODNR for replanting efforts in the area. “We recognize the change in landscape,” Gates said about the removal of thousands of trees. “We want to be able to work with property owners to begin to provide them with resources for replanting.” The $2 million in funding from the state is in addition to $14.8 million in funding from the United States Department of Agriculture that was announced in August. The Asian Longhorned Beetle infestation was dis-
covered in Ohio in Tate Township in June of 2011. Monroe and Stonelick townships were also found to have satellite infestations. As of Sept. 4, 8,716 infested trees had been removed from Clermont County and 170,575 trees had been surveyed. Gates said they will continue to move forward with eradication efforts and additional surveys in the area. “We are working to do what we can with these funds and continue to work to eradicate ALB,” Gates said.
