Struthers prepares to repave at least six roads

STRUTHERS — There are a lot of city streets that need to be repaved the next couple of years, says a consulting firm Struthers hired for an update.

According to a roadway condition-rating analysis from MS Consultants of Youngstown, 44 of 142 city streets will need to be repaved in the next year. The analysis also reported that an additional 34 streets will need to be resurfaced by the end of 2017.

Mayor Terry Stocker said it costs about $150,000 to repave one mile of street. Because of the cost, he said it’s not feasible for the city to repave more than 70 of its streets by the end of 2017.

Gary Diorio, an engineer with MS Consultants, helped to develop the analysis. He said it would cost Struthers “several million dollars” to complete all the roads they want to fix.
