Eagle Bridge Co. Works On Final Leg of U.S. 35 Upgrade By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT
A $40 million project that will ease congestion, enhance traffic flow and improve safety along the corridor between Xenia and Beavercreek is under construction in Greene County, Ohio. Work began in early March 2023. “It’s the final component of the longrange project to upgrade U.S. 35 between I75 at Dayton and I-64 at Charleston, W.Va.,” said Kathleen Fuller, public information officer of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 8. “This project came to fruition after years of dedication and hard work by not only ODOT staff, but also the participation of representatives from local government agencies. The
Greene County engineer’s office and Beavercreek Township administration were instrumental throughout the stages of project development, from initiation to the start of construction.” Contractors are maintaining traffic on the affected routes, using standard maintenance of traffic (MOT) practices to assure that delays to motorists are kept to a minimum. “Most of the impacts to traffic on U.S. 35 are limited to single-lane closures during the evening and overnight hours,” said Fuller. “However, there have been some overnight, full closures in either direction for various phases of work that would include beam setting for the new overpass bridge and establishing the work zones on U.S. 35, as well as ODOT photo Valley Road and Trebein Road. The primary equipment being used includes excavators, articulated dump trucks, see EAGLE page 6
dozers, sheep’s foot rollers, a crane with pile hammer and a water truck.
