    Project Overview

    County: Warren
    Municipality: Eldred Township
    State Route: 0027
    Local Name: Route 27
    Project Type: Bridge Replacement
    MPMS Number: 2477
    Proposed Construction Start: 2027
    Proposed Construction End: 2027
    Last Updated: 07/23/2026

    This is a proposed project to replace the bridge that carries Route 27 over Caldwell Creek in Eldred Township, Warren County.

    The bridge is located on Route 27 between the intersection with Star Hill Road and the intersection with Newton Sanford Road, approximately 6.3 miles south of the intersection with Route 426.

    The existing bridge will be replaced with a new concrete structure with 11-foot travel lanes and 4.5-foot shoulders. Approximately 190 feet south and 155 feet north of the bridge will be reconstructed to match the elevation of the new bridge. In addition, private driveways and the existing roadside ditch will need to be adjusted as needed.

    The project also includes upgrading guide rail and new road paint.

    Work is expected to occur during the 2027 construction season.

    The existing reinforced concrete bridge was built in 1930. It is classified as poor condition. Approximately 1,375 vehicles a day use the bridge, on average.

    Traffic Impacts

    Plans call for the bridge replacement to be completed using phased construction that maintains one-lane open with traffic controlled by flaggers.
