2023 Road Reconstruction Project
Fort Henry Drive
This year the City will begin reconstruction of Fort Henry Drive - Phase I. The Fort Wright City Council awarded the bid for the project to Jefferson Contractors at their May 3rd City Council Meeting.
This project will be completed in two phases with the first phase beginning after July 1st 2023. Phase 1 will take place between Pickett Drive and the bottom of the existing concrete section near 434 Fort Henry Drive. Both phases of construction will include full depth removal of the existing street and concrete reconstruction. Under drains will also be installed beneath the roadway to direct storm water to catch basins. Some storm infrastructure will be included in the project as well. This phase of the project will take place between July 2023 – November 2023.
Phase 2 is expected to begin in the spring of 2024 with anticipated completion in late summer of 2024. Phase 2 will include both ends of Fort Henry Drive: from Pickett Drive to General Drive, and from the concrete section at 422 Fort Henry to Amsterdam Road.
AMS Construction, a contractor for Duke Energy, is in the area now lowering gas services to accommodate the new roadway construction. SD1 has been in the area as well making repairs to their infrastructure ahead of the project. The Northern Kentucky Water District will also begin replacing the water main between Pickett Drive and Lookout Court. This work is scheduled to start on June 5th. However, if Duke completes their work on gas services ahead of schedule, NKWD may begin their work sooner. As the Water District works on the new main the roadway will be closed to through traffic periodically, so please plan to use an alternate route on ocasion. Residents who live within the area will still be able to access their property.
We appreciate your patience as we work through these much needed improvements to Fort Henry Drive. Any questions or concerns may be directed to Jeff Bethell, Public Works Director either at [email protected] or 859-426-3106.
