Due to the expected high turnout of early voters at the Board of Elections for the November 5, 2024 Presidential Election, Northbound Hampshire from SR 129 to Princeton Rd. will be closed during early voting hours starting Monday, October 21, 2024.
“While working with the County Sheriff, Engineer, City of Hamilton and Ohio Department of Transportation, it was determined that eliminating traffic turning left from Hampshire would allow for better traffic flow and prevent congestion on State Route 129,” said Deputy Director Eric Corbin. See below for the dates and times of the lane closure.
