Boardman roads emphasized in Mahoning County's paving program this year

YOUNGSTOWN

Mahoning County commissioners voted Thursday to advertise for bids for repaving about 16 miles of county roads using Ohio Public Works Commission grant monies and local funds from license plate fees and fuel taxes.

The paving program, estimated to cost $1.9 million, places a heavy emphasis on resurfacing roads in Boardman, many of which are heavily travelled and badly deteriorated.

Glenwood Avenue will be repaved between Ewing and Shields roads; and West Boulevard will be repaved from Shields to Glenwood.

Southern Boulevard will be repaved from Indianola Road to the Youngstown city limits.

Shields Road will be resurfaced between Lockwood Boulevard in Boardman and Mission Hills Drive in Canfield.

Other paving will be done on Sheban Drive adjacent to Mill Creek Park and on Truesdale and Hopkins roads.

In Austintown, South Turner and Burkey roads will be repaved; in Poland, North Lima and Western Reserve roads will be resurfaced.
