Welcome to the Eastern Corridor Program

The Eastern Corridor Program is a series of integrated multi-modal transportation projects designed to make travel easier and safer between Greater Cincinnati’s urban core and the communities in eastern Hamilton County and western Clermont County. This area covers approximately 165 square miles. Eastern Corridor projects are also designed to support local goals for community enhancement, economic development, and sustainable regional growth.

While each Eastern Corridor project is functionally independent and provides improvements to the transportation system, Eastern Corridor projects are also interrelated and complementary to each other. Together, they are designed to allow our region to realize the greatest benefit from these transportation investments.

Planning for Eastern Corridor improvements began in the 1990s. Since then, numerous projects have been undertaken, ranging in size and complexity from simple traffic signal upgrades to roadway, intersection, and interchange improvements. Currently, dozens more projects are in the planning, design, and construction phases or are awaiting sponsorship and funding.
