This Closure Has Been Delayed Until Tomorrow Due To The Potential For Bad Weather.
Eaton Avenue between Webster Avenue and Rhea Avenue will be closed to through traffic beginning Wednesday, April 3, 2024 at 9am until Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at 5pm.
This closure is necessary to repair underground utilities in advance of the Eaton Avenue resurfacing project. It will occur block by block between Webster and Rhea Avenues during the three week period. The closure will coincide with Hamilton City School District's spring break to lessen the impact.
While we understand the significant negative impact of this closure, this work will get Hamilton one step closer to an improved Eaton Avenue.

Dalmatians are firehouse mascots because back when fire engines were just a horse drawn wagon, they were the sirens. They'd run in front of the wagon barking and nipping to spook other horses/wagons and pedestrians out of the way

Ernest Hemingway once survived two plane crashes in the space of 24 hours. He was thought to have died in the second crash, but was later found alive with a bottle of gin in one hand and a handful of bananas in the other.
