YOUNGSTOWN Tayana C. Smith, one of three independent candidates to file for Youngstown mayor, has withdrawn her name from consideration.
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.”
