Mahoning commissioners award pact for Boardman roundabout

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County commissioners today awarded a $696,693 contract to Parella-Pannunzio Inc. of Austintown for construction of a roundabout, a one-lane traffic circle that will be installed at Mathews and Sheridan roads in Boardman this summer.

Parella-Pannunzio was the lowest of four bidders for the job, for which county Engineer Patrick Ginnetti said the intersection will be closed for 60 to 90 days.

The project, funded by federal money and local gasoline tax revenues, is designed to improve traffic flow and safety. When it is completed, there will be no traffic lights or stop signs in the intersection.
