Motorists on the city’s West Side will encounter more road construction when a state project to resurface Mahoning Avenue begins next week.

The roughly $740,200 project is set to begin Monday on Mahoning between Meridian Road and Interstate 680 and be finished by September.

A minimum of one lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction during construction, said Justin Chesnic, a spokesman for Ohio Department of Transportation District 4.

The Mahoning Avenue entrance ramp to I-680 south and McKinley Avenue at Mahoning Avenue will be closed for 14 days each during construction for pavement replacement.

All detours will be posted and access to homes and businesses will be maintained.
