Construction includes the replacement of various bridges, construction of a median barrier and shoulder widening along U.S. 30, along with pavement replacement.
By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is overseeing a $62 million project that will reconstruct U.S. 30 between state Route 309 and Fifth Avenue in the city of Mansfield. Construction includes the replacement of various bridges, con-
struction of a median barrier and shoulder widening along U.S. 30, along with pavement replacement. “This section of U.S. 30 through Mansfield was originally constructed in the late 1950s,” said Kaitlyn Thompson, ODOT public information officer of District 3. “The pavement and structures have significant deterioration, and the city of
Mansfield and ODOT have to continually perform work and expend funds to maintain the roadway for the traveling public.” The project is funded through mostly federal and state funds. Moving forward with construction at this time was an easy decision, according to Thompson. see ODOT page 6
