City of Beavercreek Provides Update on Kemp Road and Grange Hall Road Projects

The City of Beavercreek is moving forward with two significant capital improvement projects aimed at enhancing the city's roadways and pedestrian safety in the community.

One of the projects includes road and sidewalk improvements along Kemp Road, between Grange Hall Road and the Oxmoor Drive/Grange Hall Road intersection. This project includes installing curbs, storm sewers, and pedestrian facilities.

The project will improve drainage and create a continuous pedestrian connection from the existing path along Grange Hall Road north of Kemp Road to the new path and sidewalk that will be constructed along Grange Hall Road south of Kemp Road. Lane closures will be necessary during the construction of the curb and storm sewer improvements, which are projected to be completed in November. Once completed, all lanes will be reopened to traffic. The final paving work for this project is scheduled for spring 2025. This $1.2 million project is funded by $344,850 in federal funds and $849,408 from the city street levy.

The second multi-year project includes widening Grange Hall Road between Kemp Road and Summerfield Drive. This project, which started in 2023, will add a center turn lane, curbs, storm sewers, and pedestrian facilities. Similar to the Kemp Road project, this project will enhance drainage and provide a pedestrian connection from the existing path along Grange Hall Road north of Kemp Road to the new path and sidewalk that will be constructed south of Kemp Road.

Construction is expected to be completed this fall, with the final paving planned for October. The $4.3 million project is funded by $2,247,000 in federal funds, $868,000 in state funds, and $1,180,736 in local funds.

"We understand that traffic delays can be frustrating," said Public Services Director and City Engineer Jeff Moorman. "We appreciate the community's patience as we work on these important improvements. Please drive carefully in construction zones and give crews plenty of space to ensure everyone's safety."
