YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County commissioners voted to advertise for bids for the repaving of 5.8 miles of Mahoning Avenue from Meridian Road to Meander Reservoir in Austintown.

The commissioners took their action today; the bid opening will be in early August; and the work should start immediately after Labor Day and take two months to complete, said Richard A. Marsico, county engineer.

At least one lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained throughout the construction, Marsico said. Most of Mahoning Avenue in Austintown is five lanes wide.
