State Route 49
to Close during Sewer Construction
Dayton, Ohio (March 23, 2015) - Starting on Monday, March 30, State
Street (SR 49) in the Village of Phillipsburg will be closed due to
sanitary sewer installation and construction. Traffic will be detoured
in the area. The road closure is scheduled to be in place for
approximately 90 days.
"Roadways must be closed to provide a safer work environment and allow
for faster construction progress," said Patrick Turnbull, director of
Montgomery County Environmental Services. "We will work with the
contractor to get the work done as quickly as possible to minimize the
impact on businesses and residents."
Residents are asked to be alert and drive carefully in work zones to
protect their safety and the safety of construction workers. Truckers
and transportation professionals should exercise extra caution and stay
on appropriate state routes - residential roads cannot accommodate
large trucks.
Coming from the south, trucks will still be able to access Martin
Marietta. Coming from the north, A. Brown & Sons Nursery will still
be open and accessible.
Construction of the $4.7 million public sanitary sewer system
installation began in May 2014, and is scheduled to be completed in
November 2015. The project will impact 255 properties in Phillipsburg
and 10 in Clay Township.
Residents or businesses with any questions or concerns about the
project are encouraged to call (937) 825-6722 for assistance.
Background on Phillipsburg Sewer Installation Project
In 2009, the OEPA discovered that sewage was contaminating storm drains
andditches throughout Phillipsburg. The OEPA then issued orders for
Phillipsburg to correct the problem.
In 2012, Montgomery County Environmental Services signed an agreement
with Phillipsburg to address the problem by installing, owning and
operating a new sanitary sewer system.
