LIBERTY TWP. — The Butler County Engineer’s Office in conjunction with West Chester and Liberty townships has been planning road improvements for 2011.

Liberty Twp. improvements

Butler Warren Road from Tylersville to Bethany Road will be widened to five lanes early this summer with a curb and gutter. The project, in conjunction with Warren County and the Ohio Department of Transportation, is estimated to cost $9.6 million and will be paid for with federal, state and county dollars. A sidewalk/bikeway will be installed for the limits of the project, which ultimately will be incorporated into the Miami-2-Miami Corridor Plan.

Also in spring or early summer, turning lanes will be added to the intersection at Hamilton-Mason Road at Highpoint Boulevard/Glenview farms at an estimated cost of $188,071, according to the Butler County Engineer’s Office.
