Henry County Engineer details $1.46M plan to improve 9.4 miles of county roads
Summary
County Engineer Timothy J. Schumm submitted a 2026 road-and-bridge program proposing 9.4 miles of roadway work (estimated $1,465,000), slide repairs, and funded maintenance including chip-and-seal; funding sources cited include Gas Tax and license-plate fees and an OPWC grant.
County Engineer Timothy J. Schumm filed the Henry County 2026 Proposed Construction report on Feb. 17, 2026, outlining planned road-widening, resurfacing and maintenance projects. The packet lists 9.4 miles of roadway improvements with a total estimated cost of $1,465,000 and a slide-repair project north of Road L2 estimated at $215,000.
The enclosure details specific paving and widening work (for example, County Road U and County Road R are noted for widening to 20 feet) and a force-account program for structure and deck replacement. The report identifies funding sources for the work as Gas Tax and license plate fees and records an OPWC grant amount of $131,364 in the packet. The filing opens with a standard statutory reference: "In accordance with the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code," as part of the engineer's transmittal to the board.
Schumm's report also proposes chip-and-seal operations on approximately 18 miles of county roadway (estimated $280,000) and lists asphalt resurfacing and pavement marking line items. The packet includes a map showing project locations and staff contact information for follow-up. The engineer's materials will serve as the basis for project scheduling, contract development, and inclusion in the county's capital and maintenance plans.
