ODOT completes Kirk Road construction project in Austintown

AUSTINTOWN— Construction by the Ohio Department of Transportation on Kirk Road is completed.

Paula Putnam, public information officer for ODOT District 4, said the road, which has been closed since July 22, opened Monday.

The road’s bridge was closed for 90 days as a part of a $7 million project to re-deck and paint bridges over state Route 11 at Mahoning Avenue and Western Reserve, Kirk, and New roads.

Work on the Mahoning Avenue bridge is the last phase of the project and is scheduled to be completed by late August 2009.
