Mahoning County to repave 21 miles of roads

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County engineer’s office plans to have about 21 miles of county roads repaved in a $1.7 million, two-month effort beginning in late July, said Richard A. Marsico, county engineer.

Among the most notable parts of the project will be repaving of the southernmost mile of Glenwood Avenue between Forest Garden Drive and Western Reserve Road in Boardman, more than two miles of Tippecanoe Road between Canfield Road and Lockwood Boulevard, and more than three miles of Western Reserve Road between Pricetown and Helsel roads in western Mahoning County.

The paving project will be paid for by gasoline tax and motor vehicle license revenues and Ohio Public Works Commission funds. Landfill dumping fees, known as tipping fees, will be used to help the effort in townships that have landfills.

Bids will be opened for the project at 1:30 p.m. May 30 in the county purchasing office. The project includes some bridge deck repair and culvert replacement on roads to be paved.
