1. Bypass Route 4 Improvement

   Steve Morgan and Mark Sutton have been working tirelessly within the Fairfield Township Administration and alongside Butler County and State of Ohio officials to improve Bypass Route 4. It takes years for State and EPA approvals to be completed on a roadway as significant as Bypass 4. Steve and Mark are proud to report that construction will begin in 2010. The improvements will be divided in three unique project phases. The first phase will include the Hamilton-Mason widening in April. The second phase will focus on the area near Symmes Road beginning in June. The third and final phase will be a $5.5 million improvement stimulus-related improvement. The final phase is scheduled to begin in February.
