CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Motorists can expect lane closures on two roads that are part of the City of Cincinnati’s Kennedy Connector project.  The curb lane of westbound Madison Road will close on Monday, December 17 and the curb lane of southbound Ridge Road will close on Wednesday, December 19.

Wednesday’s closure of the lane on Ridge's approach to Ibsen Avenue will take place for three days.  Construction crews will be adding pavement to the new turn lane from southbound Ridge to Ibsen.  The turn lane was made possible by the rerouting of Ibsen.

On Monday, the curb lane of westbound Madison will be closed between Steel Place and Ridge.  That closure is expected to last for about two weeks as work is done to add new pavement that eventually will connect Madison to the new Kennedy Connector that is the major focus of this project.

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Metro has partnered with the City of Cincinnati’s Office of Environmental Quality (OEQ) and Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District to reward residents with free Metro passes when they make the green choice of actively recycling.

Metro’s new Recycle & Ride program kicked off this week for five communities: Bond Hill, Clifton, Hyde Park, Oakley and Price Hill.

The program is administered through RecycleBank and it allows recyclers in the selected communities to earn points each time they recycle. They can redeem the points for passes for six free rides in Metro’s Zone 1. Learn more about the recycling in the City of Cincinnati and RecycleBank at www.CincinnatiRecycles.org.
