Road Projects Update

Nutt Road Improvement Project is Complete

The Nutt Road improvement project is due for completion by August. The project widens and improves a little more than a quarter mile of Nutt Road from Meadow Woods Lane east to Schoolhouse Park. The road is widened from two to three lanes, each about 13 feet wide for improved safety. Enhancements include curb, gutter, storm sewers and a sidewalk on both sides.

Improvements help connect motorists to a popular destination – Schoolhouse Park – when they're coming from the west. The $1.2 million township project includes a new 38-foot-span bridge that replaces a 1965 bridge over a branch of the Little Sugarcreek.

The township also has started engineering work on the next and final phase of Nutt Road improvements – a one-mile segment starting west of School House Park and extending to Clyo Road. The final segment will be widened to three lanes and sidewalks installed on both sides in front of the park. East of the park, a sidewalk will be installed on the south side of the road. Engineering is expected to be complete by the end of the year.

Rehabilitation Project

The Cranbrook neighborhood in the northwest part of the township is benefiting from a thorough street rehabilitation project in 2011. Two streets and part of a third will be removed down to the soil and completely rebuilt, along with curbs, gutters and driveway aprons.

A total of 34 homes have frontage within the project on these streets: Cranbrook Court, Barnsley Place, and a section of Folkestone Drive that loops between Barnsley Place and Viewpoint Drive. This is the second street rehabilitation project undertaken by the Public Works Department and the most comprehensive. The first was completed in summer 2008 in Washington Meadows plat, on the north side of West Whipp Road across from John Hole Elementary School.

Street Improvement Program for 2011

One arterial road and 35 residential streets are included this year in Washington Township's annual Street Improvement Program.

Nearly seven miles of roads – ranging from two to five lanes wide – will be resurfaced as part of the $893,000 program, according to Public Works Engineer John Davies. Streets will be layered with 10,200 tons of asphalt, up from 9,851 tons in 2010 when the price per ton was $3 higher.

Lyons Road, the five-lane arterial slated for resurfacing, will receive a new layer of asphalt from Yankee Street to 400 feet east of the intersection. The project, due to start in early summer, will not require a road closure.

Most resurfacing for the Street Improvement Program will take place in the southeast portion of the township where 25 residential streets – most of them cul-de-sacs – are affected. However, a northwest neighborhood adjacent to Miami Valley School will have seven of its streets resurfaced and also will benefit from about 2,400 feet of curb repair on sections that show deterioration.
