Title: US 27 cutout in Cincinnati is gone
Post by: bandit957 on February 20, 2014, 03:10:13 PM
Bad news, bad news, Boss! The ancient US 27 cutout at Elmore & Colerain is now gone. Gone into thin air.

Mourn it. Miss it. Remember it.

I think it was already gone when I was up there last spring.

I hope it went home with someone, instead of being turned into a guardrail.

I wonder if the US-50 cutouts in Mariemont are still around.

At least one was in the eastbound direction last year when I went through there.

Here's what Google has..

It stood until at least 2012. Another Street View angle that shows this cutout is dated 2012.

We photographed it in 2009 and again in 2011. Glad that we did.

Is the post still there, or is the whole assembly gone?

Nevermind, I see what they did:

Makes me think it was probably retained by DOT or other another worker (hopefully that vs. the guard rail scenario).

Wonder if that was done by ODOT or by Cincinnati's public works department? (Especially since I don't believe the truck route is an official ODOT route).
