Spring Common Bridge rehab to begin in a month

YOUNGSTOWN — Two companies came within $31,000 of each other and within $48,000 of the Mahoning County engineer’s estimate when their bids were opened for the rehabilitation of the Spring Common Bridge.

That bridge spans the Mahoning River at the west end of the city’s downtown, linking Fifth Avenue and West Federal Street with Mahoning Avenue.

The apparent low-bidder Wednesday for the two-year project was Great Lakes Construction Co. of Hinckley at $5,164,226, which came in just below the $5,195,000 bid from A.P. O’Horo Co. of Liberty. The county engineer’s office had estimated $5,147,704 for the work, which will begin about a month from now.
