West Market Street bridge slated for rehabilitation

WARREN — The Trumbull County Engineer’s Office has identified the desperate condition of many of the 377 bridges in the county and said it is committed to providing the necessary resources to address the problems.

One of the bridges chosen for rehabilitation is the West Market Street bridge spanning the Mahoning River and located west of Mahoning Avenue in downtown Warren. Officials at the engineer’s office said the existing 235-foot concrete frame bridge built in 1930 is considered structurally deficient based on a recent inspection.

The proposed rehabilitation will include removal and replacement of the existing asphalt pavement, patching for the deteriorated concrete, removal and replacement of the existing concrete sidewalk, resetting of the original granite curb, repairing the cracked stone facia and deteriorated joints, cleaning of the stone surfaces and replacement of the existing bridge lighting.

Officials said the $5.16 million project is scheduled to begin in spring 2026 and be completed by fall of that year.

During project construction, West Market Street at the bridge site will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic for a maximum of 180 consecutive days. The planned detour is South Street (U.S Route 422) and Mahoning Avenue.

Construction, lane restrictions, bridge closure / detour information will be posted along West Market Street and all intersecting side streets. Access shall be maintained to all adjacent properties, businesses and intersecting side streets for the duration of the project.

Officials said while the project will not result in any substantial impacts to environmental resources, the engineer’s office is seeking comments from the public regarding it. Questions or comments concerning environmental impact or the project should be directed by March 22 to Gary Shaffer at the Trumbull County Engineer’s Office, 650 N. River Road NW, Warren, OH 44483 or by calling 330-675-2640.

Starting at $2.99/week.
