Embankment repairs Thursday on SR 164

SALINEVILLE

Work begins Thursday to repair four embankment failures along state Route 164 in the village caused by excessive rains this spring, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

Traffic will be maintained with flaggers.

ODOT’s contractor, Ruhlin Co. from Sharon Center, Ohio, will do the work as well as repairing the guardrail and pavement.

The project, estimated to cost $400,000, is being funded by federal emergency money. ODOT officials anticipate the work should be completed in four weeks.
