A resurfacing project that spans two counties is slated to start Monday .

Crews from the Ohio Department of Transportation District 4 were to begin resurfacing state Route 46 between U.S. Route 422 in Howland Township and state Route 5 in Bazetta Township.

The $2.3 million project also includes resurfacing of U.S. Route 224 from just east of North Hillside Drive in Canfield to just west of Pinewood Drive in Boardman. State Route 625 (Lockwood Boulevard) between U.S. 224 and Midlothian Boulevard in Boardman also will be resurfaced.

Kristen Erickson, an ODOT District 4 spokeswoman, said crews will complete the Trumbull County portion of the project before moving onto the Mahoning County piece.

“The whole project is considered preventive maintenance,” she said.

The roads were due for resurfacing work at the same time, Erickson said.

During work in both counties, a minimum of one lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction during construction.

The projects are set to end in August.
