Upcoming Clough Pike Projects

Clough Pike commuters could soon enjoy a smoother and quicker ride down the corridor, thanks to a new signal timing project and pavement marking project expected to be completed by the end of 2021. Five signalized intersections will be analyzed starting this spring, with a goal of reducing time delays experienced at each intersection.

These projects are an outgrowth of the township’s planned improvements on the Clough corridor, a project that began in 2019 when the township started studying ways to make the heavily-used artery safer and more efficient. In January 2021, the Anderson Township Trustees adopted the Clough Pike Implementation Report that includes 34 projects identified as high priority. The community overwhelmingly supported upgrading the corridor, evidenced by more than 1,000 respondents to surveys throughout 2019 and 2020 that solicited ideas for change on Clough Pike.

Clough’s intersections with Nagel Road, Eight Mile Road, Wolfangel Road, Bruns Lane and Five Mile Road will be examined. Traffic experts predict some areas could see a nearly 30 percent reduction in travel delays once the study and modifications are complete.

In addition to the signal timing modifications, staff is advancing a robust pavement marking project throughout the entire Clough Corridor. The goal is to improve the visibility and safety of existing intersections by re-painting existing markings, adding crosswalks, and altering the location of existing stop bars to reflect the latest standards.

Anderson Township, consultant Stantec and the Hamilton County Engineer’s Office are collaborating on both projects. These signal change improvements and pavement markings were identified as providing the biggest benefit for the least amount of money, along with the lowest inconvenience to drivers.
