There is a very serious riding hazard that was located on southbound interstate 75 at the sharonville overpass area. There is construction going on in that area and the south bound lane was routed into a temporary lane where the berm used to be, In doing this the contractor covers over the yellow edge line marker with a black substance. This substance when wet is very slick compared to the road asphalt adjacent to it.
on May 7, 2008 a biker travelling south was caused to loose control by this slippery substance and crash. Before anything was done about it, on May 9th another biker was also caused to loose control and was killed when his bike slid on this substance and the crach caused him to stike the pavement.
At this time I do not know what this substance was made out of, or if it was approved by the Ohio dept of Transportation. I am in the process of inquiring of ODOT all information about this. So beware if you are funnelled into a tempory lane because you may be going over a very slippery area that will cause your wheel to slide out and possibly kill you.
If you know of anyone else that crashed their bike on interstate 75 southbound in the area of the sharonville overpass please call me at 621-2345 or 1-800-447-6549.
I am actively representing the deceased biker. So motorcycle riders beware of the potential for severe accident and injury.
