Some long-awaited slip repairs are coming to Belmont County.
The Belmont County Board of Commissioners adopted the final resolutions for three Ohio Department of Transportation projects, with local shares to be paid using license plate fees.
On Wednesday, Belmont County Engineer Terry Lively said these repairs will address road slips from 2018.
“It’s been a long process, but we’re finally there, at least on these projects,” Lively said.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE The Belmont County commissioners are anticipating recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and infrastructure upgrades to facilitate commerce.
During their Wednesday meeting, Martins Ferry resident Richard Hord mentioned winter’s impact on Belmont County’s roads and asked if funding was available to address repairs.
“Is that going to be a special challenge?” Hord asked.
“We meet with the county engineer (Terry Lively) pretty much on a regular basis to discuss his budget, how much he’s got going in and what kind of paving we can do,” Commissioner Jerry Echemann said, adding the paving of county roads for many years has chiefly been done through road use maintenance agreements with oil and gas companies that utilize the roads.
