Culvert Repair - State Route 772
Deadline March 16
As part of the Ohio Department of Transportation - District 9's Planning Department, the district's Environmental Office is seeking public input for a culvert rehabilitation project on state Route 772 in Pike County.
PIK-772-18.86 (PID: 102444) - It is proposed to rehabilitate the structure located at the 18.86-mile marker on S.R. 772, between C.R. 37 (Buchanan Road) and T.R. 414 (Al Leeth Road), by paving the bottom of the existing structures with concrete.
The project will not require any new right of way, and no homes or businesses will be removed as a result of the project. A contract is scheduled to be awarded in October 2018 as part of a districtwide project, and although a closure of the routes will not be necessary, short-term closures and/or lane restrictions may be in effect during construction.
