Between SR 725 and Dryden Road

 Montgomery County (Monday, April 9, 2012) – A traffic pattern switch will take place on I-75 between SR 725 and Dryden Road beginning Monday, April 9^th at 7 am.  I-75 northbound traffic will be shifted to the outside lanes of I-75 northbound.  The inside lane of I-75 southbound will utilize the crossover lane, crossing over the median and using one lane of I-75 northbound.  The two remaining lanes of I-75 southbound will be shifted to the inside of I-75 southbound.  There will be short term lane restrictions during this switch, but three lanes will remain open to motorists in each direction at all times.  The switch is expected to be complete by Friday, April 13^th at 5 pm.

This traffic pattern switch will allow the contractor to rebuild the outside half of I-75 southbound near the West Carrollton interchange.

In addition to the traffic pattern shift, the following ramps will close the evening of Thursday, April 12^th and are scheduled to reopen Saturday, June 9^th:

-          Ramp from I-75 southbound to Central Avenue

-          Ramp from Central Avenue to I-75 southbound

The official detour for these ramp closures is:

-          I-75 south to Central Avenue: Take Dryden Road exit, go south on Dryden Road to Central Avenue

-          Central Avenue to I-75 south: Take Central Avenue east to SR 741 south to SR 725 west to I-75 south

These ramp closures are due to a contractor building retaining walls, reconstructing the ramps and working on bridge decks at that location.

Arrow boards and signs will be in place prior to the work zone to alert motorists of the upcoming closures. Law enforcement will be on hand to monitor traffic flow.  All work is weather permitting.

Safety is a top priority at ODOT.  To help ensure the safety of the construction workers as well as the traveling public, motorists should remain alert, reduce their speed and watch for stopped traffic while passing through the work zone.

Two Arrested in Sex Sting

MIAMI TWP., Ohio (WDTN) – Two men were arrested on Tuesday during an undercover sex sting at a Miami Township park.

Police set up the undercover investigation at Waldruhe Park after receiving numerous complaints from residents about inappropriate sexual behavior.

Officers arrested 44 year-old Steven Wuebker and 44 year-old John Huff on charges of public indecency and sexual imposition.

Deputy Police Chief John DiPietro said sexual conduct of any kind cannot be tolerated in public places and he hopes that this sting sends a strong message to the community.

“Behavior is the issue. We are not going to tolerate this behavior. We are doing proactive patrols in uniform and we are doing undercover operations as well,” said DiPietro. “I think the best advice for anybody is please come out and enjoy our parks. Know that we are aware of these issues. Know that we’re trying to make these parks safe. For those individuals who want to get involved in this type of behavior, you really need to do it somewhere else or find a motel”.  WDTN Story: Two Arrested in Miami Township Sex Sting
