Buckeye Road has seen better days after many years of heavy truck travel. The Allen County Engineer's office accepted an offer from Degan Excavating Company for its reconstruction. The project will widen the road to 24 feet and redo its shoulders. All traffic signals will be replaced, new drainage will be installed, and the CSX railroad crossing will be evened out. The Allen County Roadway Engineer, David Louth, says after being approved for 3 state grants, the $1.25 million plan can begin.

Buckeye Road will be seeing major improvements as a shoulder enhancement gets underway. The project just going out for bid with construction to start in June. The road is in bad shape as truck traffic has broken it down. There will also be upgrades to the traffic signals and work on the CSX rail crossing. The project is being paid for with a 1.1-million-dollar grant from the state.
