Princeton Road in Liberty Township: Upcoming Road Closure and Improvement Projects

The Butler County Engineer's Office has announced that Princeton Road in Liberty Township will be closed starting April 5, 2023, for intersection and bridge improvement projects. While this may cause some inconvenience to motorists, the good news is that access will still be maintained for residents and other local traffic. The road closure is necessary to facilitate the construction 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 project, which is expected to be completed in early November 2023, will ease congestion and upgrade safety benefits on one of Butler County's most frequently traveled roadways. The construction work is being financed by a combination of federal, state, and local funds from the Ohio Department of Transportation, Ohio Public Works Commission, BCEO, and Liberty Township.

Before the official road closure, motorists may see utility work with flaggers beginning April 3 and 4, which could cause some delays. However, the Butler County Engineer's Office is working to minimize the impact on traffic and ensure a smooth construction process.

The Princeton Road closure will affect through traffic between Lesourdsville West Chester Road and Yankee Road, as well as Mauds Hughes Road between Millikin Road and Hamilton Mason Road. Motorists traveling westbound on Princeton Road will be able to continue north of Mauds Hughes Road, while southbound traffic on Mauds Hughes Road from Millikin Road will be able to turn east onto Princeton Road.

The lowest bid for the project was submitted by Rack & Ballauer Excavating Co., Inc. at $4,630,394. The construction company will perform both the roundabout installation and bridge replacement simultaneously during the closure period.

While some disruption to traffic is inevitable during this time, the end result will be a safer and more efficient road network for the residents of Liberty Township and surrounding areas.
