Road paving underway in Struthers

STRUTHERS — The city’s 2016 road-resurfacing program is underway and expected to be completed within the next week.

The city is paving Brandon Avenue from Youngstown-Poland Road to 5th Street; Hopewell Drive from Henry Street to Butler Street; Overlook Boulevard from Poland Avenue to Argonne Street; Poland Avenue from State Street to Bridge Street; Wetmore Drive from Poland Avenue to Center Street; and 9th Street from Midlothian Boulevard to Elm Street.

The city awarded the contract to Butch & Mcree Paving of Hillsville, Pa., which submitted a $343,910 bid for the project. An Ohio Public Works Commission grant will cover 61 percent of the cost and revenue from the city’s road levy will finance the remainder.
