Springtime in the Mahoning Valley blooms orange barrels and traffic cones with flashing lights as construction work ramps up on various roadways.
In both Mahoning and Trumbull counties, $71.4 million is being invested by the Ohio Department of Transportation in various active and upcoming construction projects.
The total being invested is vastly different between both counties. ODOT public information officer Ray Marsch explained the dollar amount fluctuates yearly.
“It just depends on what projects are currently taking place in that calendar year,” he said.
Marsch also added the safety of construction crews is paramount.
“From April on, that’s when our construction season really starts. Any time you’re traveling and see those orange barrels or cones, please pay attention to the crews and follow the posted directions so everyone is safe,” he said. “The Move Over Law was put in place not only for safety of first responders, but for construction crews as well.”

YOUNGSTOWN Mahoning Avenue, one of the busiest streets on the city’s West Side, will undergo two significant improvement projects one starting next year, and the second occurring in 2024 and 2025.
The first project goes from Oak Hill Avenue, where the street ends at the Spring Common Bridge and becomes Fifth Avenue, to Meridian Road, the city’s western border with Austintown.
The work includes the replacement of 10 traffic lights as well as sidewalk improvements and new curb ramps in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, said Charles Shasho, deputy director of public works.
The project is estimated at $2,078,093, but the cost won’t be known until the city seeks bids. The money for the work is coming from federal funds, Shasho said.
