Another road is closed as part of the Western Reserve Road Widening project.

Sharrott Road at the Western Reserve Road and Glenwood Avenue intersection is closed starting Sunday, Aug. 18 for about 30 days.

Crews will work to complete the installation of a concrete box culvert.

While the road will be closed at the intersection, it should still be accessible through different routes.

The project is in its second phase, which will involve work from Glenwood Avenue to Market Street. There are a total of five phases to the project. The rest of the phases are as follows:

  • Phase Three: Market Street to Southern Boulevard
  • Phase Four: Southern Boulevard to South Avenue
  • Phase Five: South Avenue to North Lima Road

The work is to widen the road from just east of Hitchcock Road to the Interstate 680 southbound exit ramp. A two-way center left turning lane will be constructed throughout the length of the project, according to Mahoning County's web page.

The intersection of Western Reserve Road will be upgraded with additional turning lanes and a new signal.

Additionally, drainage improvements, precast box culverts, intersection widening, curbing, signing, and pavement making are also included in the project.
