Description
The Mill Creek Expressway in general starts from the Interstate 71/75 Interchange near the Brent Spence Bridge and ends at the Interstate 275 Interchange, it currently carries 3 lanes of traffic in each direction with 1 additional auxiliary lane at each exit. The section of freeway often experiences many traffic problems and crashes during the weekdays from 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM when people from downtown use the northbound side to usually get to the Northern Suburbs (Westchester, Mason, Liberty Township) from Downtown. The southbound side is usually used by truck drivers heading south or people just getting out of school (i.e. St Xavier High School, Elder High School, Ursula Academy, etc.) . Plans have been made to widen this section of interstate to 4 lanes on each side and 6 lanes on each side in some major exits such as the Norwood Lateral Expressway and Paddock Road. Information on this project can be found on the Ohio Department of Transportation's main webpage. This project is expected to start in 2010 and end in 2020, and has already been started with the replacement of the Moumonth Street Overpass to accommodate widening, and a new at grade intersection with Central Parkway is in development and is expected to be complete by August 2011. This is Phase II of the project.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
