Rockfall-remediation project continues near Salineville

SALINEVILLE — Construction resumed today to finish the $2 million state Route 39 rockfall-remediation project that began last year just east of Salineville in Columbiana County.

Two-way traffic will be maintained in one, 11-foot lane with temporary traffic signals. Remaining work includes: Installation of a culvert crossing, barrier wall, new pavement, guardrail, and general cleanup.

Beginning next Monday and Tuesday, ODOT’s contractor, Ruhlin Co., Sharon Center, Ohio, will install the cross culvert, so one lane of traffic will be maintained with flaggers. Motorists should plan ahead to avoid delays during this time frame. Officials estimate all work will be completed by mid-May.
