Mahoning commissioners OK North Bailey Road repaving contract

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County commissioners awarded a contract this morning for the repaving of North Bailey Road in Jackson Township from Mahoning Avenue to the Mahoning-Trumbull County line.

The $947,314 award to Stateline Paving LLC of North Lima was substantially below the original $1 million estimate for the job.

That project, which will repave 2.5 miles of roadway, will be 80 percent federally funded with a 20 percent state share.

That road is important for the area’s business and industry, said Commissioner Carol Rimedio-Righetti.

That section of Bailey Road has an interchange with Interstate 76 and leads to the General Motors Lordstown plant and the Lordstown Ohio Turnpike interchange.

“That road will be brought up to standard for business,” including the trucking industry, said Commissioner Anthony Traficanti. “That road was deplorable for years.”
