ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - Allen County engineers are ready to start work on resurfacing roadways around the county.
Allen County engineers held their final road meeting today with all township trustees and county commissioners to finalize the 2024 plan. The total cost for all of the road projects came out to just over $2.2 million. That includes a little more than 9 miles of paving and 57 miles of chip sealing, but because of inflation, those numbers are 30% less than last year.
"It is all about collaboration with the townships. So, they help us out by doing the mowing for us around the county, and we help out by doing road work and some culvert work around the county as well," says Brion Rhodes, Allen County Engineer. "And by pulling all of our work together, we can get a much better bid on our asphalt work and also our liquid for our chip seal program that we do each and every year."
The Allen County Commissioners will need to pass a resolution authorizing the road program at their next meeting.
