Evergreen, Ohio, Center, Willard Avenues Reconstruction

Project Overview

The City is planning to reconstruct Evergreen Ave (Oakridge Ave to Center Ave), Ohio Ave (Willard Ave to Center Ave), Center Ave (Dunning St to Hudson Ave), and Willard Ave (Evergreen Ave to Ohio Ave).

The project includes the replacement of sanitary sewer and laterals, water main, storm sewer main and laterals, curb and gutter, gravel base, asphalt pavement, pavement marking, and signs. The sidewalk will be spot replaced as needed. The curb ramps will be replaced at the intersections to provide better access to pedestrians crossing the streets.
