Coitsville Road paving to begin Monday

Friday, September 26, 2008

CAMPBELL — Work on the $538,000 project to resurface Coitsville Road between Wilson Avenue and U.S. Route 422 is slated to begin Monday.

Traffic will be maintained while the resurfacing work, being financed with a $420,000 federal grant and $118,000 in local funds, is done, said Mayor John Dill.

The project, which includes cleaning of some storm sewers, is expected to be completed within two or three weeks, depending on weather conditions. Applying the final course, a rubberized material, requires a temperature of 60 degrees or warmer, so might be delayed until the spring of 2009, the mayor said.

Dill said Coitsville Road has been in bad shape for a long time, and said he is happy to see the repair work get under way. The contractor, Shelly and Sands of Akron, was low bidder on the project, he said.
