From the Ohio Department of Transportation
Starting Friday, November 20, 2026, Winchester Pike over U.S. 33 will close through early 2028 for bridge rehabilitation.
- Northbound detour: Winchester Pike to James Rd. to I-70 westbound to Livingston Ave./U.S. 33
- Southbound detour: U.S. 33 to SR 104/Refugee Rd. to Winchester Pike
During the closure, crews will make major repairs to the bridge to extend its lifespan and improve safety. Work includes replacing the bridge’s driving surface, upgrading components that support the structure, and strengthening the bridge piers. The bridge was originally constructed in 1963 and last underwent minor rehabilitation work in 1993.
The bridge rehabilitation is part of the U.S. 33/Petzinger Road Intersection Improvements Project, which includes construction of a Reduced Collision U-Turn (RCUT) at the intersection of U.S. 33 and Petzinger Road to improve safety and traffic operations.
