Lorain County awards contracts for four bridge and road projects, majority paid with ODOT funds
Summary
The board awarded four construction contracts — Bursley Road bridge replacement ($1,130,753), Hawley Road bridge replacement ($792,753), Griggs Road superstructure ($357,981) and East River Road resurfacing ($425,445.50) — with completion dates set in mid‑2026 and ODOT funding covering substantial portions of costs on several projects.
The Board of Commissioners on Jan. 16 approved several county engineer‑recommended construction contracts. Highlights include:
• Bursley Road Bridge #0227 — awarded to R & I Construction (Tiffin) for $1,130,753.00; work to be completed by Aug. 15, 2026; ODOT to fund 100% of construction costs for this project. • Hawley Road Bridge #0823 — awarded to R & I Construction for $792,753.00; ODOT to provide $753,115.35 toward construction; county to cover remaining $39,637.65 from engineer project accounts; completion by Aug. 15, 2026. • Griggs Road Bridge #0157 superstructure — awarded to D2 Excavating LLC for $357,981.00; work includes removal and replacement of the single-span bridge superstructure; ODOT to fund 100% of construction; completion by Aug. 15, 2026. • East River Road resurfacing (Chestnut Ridge Rd to Elyria limit) — awarded to Crossroads Asphalt Recycling Inc. for $425,445.50; ODOT to provide $340,356.40 with the county funding the balance; completion by July 15, 2026.
Why it matters: The awards commit county and state funding to repair and replace critical structures and roadways, set contractor obligations and schedule targets, and enable construction work this year. The board adopted the contracts by unanimous vote following engineer bid reviews and public procurement procedures.
What’s next: Notices to proceed will be issued after contract execution; project managers will coordinate schedules and ODOT‑funding disbursements.
