Thank you to everyone who attended our Public Works Open House!

Earlier this week, the City of Fairfield Public Works Department hosted an open house at the Community Arts Center to share information and gather feedback on several important transportation and trail projects, including:

• A proposed roundabout at the River Road, Groh Lane, and Chateau Way intersection
• The River Road West Multi-Use Path between Wessel Drive and Groh Lane
• The Great Miami River Trail Extension connecting Waterworks Park and Marsh Park

Attendees had the opportunity to review project exhibits, ask questions, and speak directly with City staff and our traffic consultant.

As these projects move forward, our team will continue refining designs, incorporating public input whenever practical, and working with residents whose properties or access may be affected.

📝 We still want to hear from you! Additional comments can be submitted to our engineering team through our website: https://www.fairfield-city.org/formcenter/Public-Works-9/Contact-Public-Works-129

More information, updated exhibits, and responses to common questions will be shared through our website, social media channels, and future press releases.

Thank you for helping shape the future of Fairfield's transportation and trail network!

🚧 Road work is underway in Fairfield! 🚧

This week, Barrett Paving began resurfacing approximately 22 lane miles of City streets as part of Fairfield's 2026 Annual Overlay Program.

Before paving began, curb repairs and curb ramp upgrades were completed earlier this year. City crews are also repairing drainage structures and replacing street signs throughout much of the project area.

Crews have begun milling the existing pavement in the Villages of Harbin Park subdivision. A new 1.5-inch surface layer will be installed next.

This nearly $2 million investment helps keep Fairfield's roads safe, reliable, and in good condition for residents and visitors.

📍 See the full list of streets included in this year's program: https://www.fairfield-city.org/1312/2026-Annual-Overlay

As we work to keep Fairfield's roads safe and well-maintained, please use caution around work zones and thank you for your patience as these improvements are completed!
