Newtown-Clough Intersection Area Improvements Begin

Construction has begun on a project to add left-turn lanes on Clough Pike to Newtown Road and to the Alcove of Turpin Hills apartments. The project will also complete the sidewalk connection on Clough Pike from Newtown Road to Copperleaf (and Turpin Hills). 

The improvements are made possible by an ODOT grant and are based on the township’s 2021 Clough Pike Transportation Study. The new turn lanes will ease traffic backups, and the sidewalk will improve pedestrian safety by finishing the Clough sidewalks that link the Turpin Hills area to the Clough Pike Historical Business District. A sidewalk connection to those was built by the Harmony at Anderson senior housing community several years ago.

Traffic will be maintained on Clough Pike during construction. However, beginning Monday, June 8, single lane closures on Clough Pike will be in place between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. to allow for the temporary widening of the roadway. Delays are possible and motorists are urged to use caution in the construction zone.

For more information, please see page 4 of the April 2026 edition of Anderson HERE. 

The project is projected to be completed late this fall.
