The Ohio Department of Transportation issued the following press release:

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 4 will host a Virtual Public Meeting to present information and solicit public comment on alternatives for the proposed project to improve safety on U.S. 62 at the Bedford Road intersection and at the Broadway Avenue intersection. Both intersections are located southwest of the State Route 82 interchange, in Brookfield Township, Trumbull County.

The project is tentatively scheduled for construction in Spring 2023.

The virtual public meeting will be held Tuesday, June 22, 2021. The meeting format includes a brief project overview presentation at 5:00 p.m. followed by a Q&A session. Attendees can join online at https://publicinput.com/ODOT110589 or by phone at 855-925-2801, meeting code 8777. Following the meeting, the recorded presentation and all materials regarding the project will be available online at transportation.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/odot/projects/projects/110589

In order to comply with Governor DeWine’s guidelines regarding limiting social gatherings in response to COVID-19, ODOT is presenting the project information online only.
