The Eastern Corridor project is evaluating long-term transportation solutions necessary to meet growing usage patterns in the region extending from downtown Cincinnati and eastern Hamilton County to western Clermont County.

Map of Study Area

Defining the area
Covering nearly 200 square miles in parts of Hamilton and Clermont Counties in Ohio and parts of Campbell County in Kentucky, the project area extends east from the Cincinnati Business District to Milford, Batavia and Amelia, and into Northern Kentucky along I-275 and I-471.

Although the initial planning phases included improvements to be made in the Northern Kentucky region of the Eastern Corridor area, all planned improvements now focus on Ohio.

Why the project is necessary
By 2020, it’s expected that almost 200,000 people will call some section of the Corridor home. Employment projections estimate that by 2020 87,000 people will work in the Eastern Corridor. Transportation system improvements must be made now to meet these increasing growth patterns.
