ODOT proposes area road projects

The Ohio Department of Transportation is proposing a $1,899,139 project to mill and resurface 1.61 miles of state Route 170 from Renwick Drive in Poland to Midlothian Boulevard and 3.4 miles of state Route 616 from state Route 170 to Union Street and from Highland Avenue to Struthers-Liberty Road.

In addition to the resurfacing, the project also will include minor drainage improvements, installation of new guardrails, partial-depth pavement repairs, curb replacement, curb ramp upgrades to meet ADA standards and the application of edge, center, stop and crosswalk lines and other necessary pavement marking.

The project is scheduled to begin this summer.

During the project, there will be closures on Route 616 between Poland Avenue and Lowellville Road for a maximum of 45 days.

ODOT is accepting public feedback regarding the environmental impact of the project.
