Work begins on road, sewer projects in Struthers

Staff report

STRUTHERS

The city is beginning some road and other infrastructure improvement projects.

Work on Clingan Road, which began March 3, is under way. The project, which includes new curbs, resurfacing and a new storm sewer, should be finished by May, said Gary Diorio, the city’s consulting engineer.

The project costs $304,000, with $210,000 coming from an Ohio Department of Public Works grant. The city will pick up $94,364 of the cost, with $55,000 coming from the city’s storm-water fund and more than $44,000 coming from the permissive-tax fund.

Where curbs are being installed, residents are not able to use their driveways for a week, city officials said.

Residents who live close to Center Street can park on Grimm Heights, and others can park their cars on Babic Street, officials said.

The city will also resurface sections of street that need it the most, Diorio added. They include Omar, Overlook, Garfield, Wetmore, Harvey and Helena. The resurfacing will be bid as one project, with an estimated cost of $75,000, he said.

The city expects to solicit bids for the resurfacing projects in the beginning of April.
