WARREN
The Trumbull County commissioners are expected today to authorize six road projects to be carried out in late 2015 and early 2016.
The projects, costing $1,159,718, will be paid for with $800,000 from the Ohio Public Works Commission and the remainder from local funds, according to Trumbull County Engineer Randy Smith.
The projects are:
North Road in Howland Township from North River Road to the dead end at the state Route 5 Bypass. A paving project on North Road from Reeves Road to North River Road for this spring was announced earlier.
Northwest Bridge Road in the northwest quadrant of Warren Township on the west side of the Mahoning River to Mahoning Avenue.
West River Road in the southwest quadrant of Newton Township. It begins at Bright Baldwin Road and continues north to the Newton Falls Village limits (Windsor Street).
Sodom Hutchings Road in the Vienna Township from state Route 82 to 850 feet north of Warren Sharon Road.
West Park Avenue in the northwest quadrant of Weathersfield Township from the Lordstown Village limits east to Austintown Warren Road.
Niles-Warren River Road in the southwest quadrant of Howland Township from DeForest Road to the Warren City Limits at Burton Street SE.
Commissioners also are expected to approve a sanitary-sewer project for the South Canal Street area of Newton Township just south of Newton Falls.
The project, also known as Scott Street Phase 3, will be paid for with a $710,000 Ohio Public Works Commission grant and a $1,939,650 zero-percent loan from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Officials hope to begin construction in late 2015, said Gary Newbrough, project planning director for the Trumbull County Sanitary Engineer’s Office.
It will provide sewers to 112 customers on South Canal Street from Niles Avenue to Bright Baldwin Road, all of Oak Knoll Avenue and parts of Fairview Avenue and Woodlawn Avenue.
Officials are hoping to begin Scott Street Phase 2 in the spring. It will serve 113 customers on the east side of Canal Street. The cost to affected property owners is estimated at $38 per month, Newbrough said.
