For the past few weeks, drivers along a portion of state Route 193 and U.S. Route 422 have had to alter their travel plans.

The Ohio Department of Transportation District 4 is resurfacing and replacing guardrail on Route 193 from Crescent Street to U.S. 422 and on U.S. 422 from Route 193 to Belmont Avenue.

With a $10.6 million construction price tag, Kristen Erickson, a District 4 spokeswoman, said it’s one of the largest projects in Mahoning County this year.

The project, which is being done by A.P. O’Horo of Youngstown, also includes rehabilitation of four bridges: Route 193 over Crescent, Route 193 over Rayen Avenue and the railroad and the two bridges at the routes 193/422 interchange.

The project is slated for completion in August 2011.
