LORDSTOWN — The Trumbull County Engineer’s Office is planning bridge rehabilitation work along Hewitt Gifford Road in Lordstown and Warren Township.

Trumbull County Engineer Randy Smith has identified the functional condition of many of the 377 bridges throughout the county.

Smith said the project proposes to rehabilitate the bridge on Hewitt Gifford Road spanning Little Duck Creek between Palmyra Road and state Route 45.

Officials said the proposed bridge rehabilitation will reuse the existing substructure and replace the existing 32-foot single span steel beam structure with a new single-span steel beam superstructure with an asphalt filled congregated metal deck and twin steel tube railing.

The project is scheduled to begin construction in spring or summer 2025.

During construction, Hewitt Gifford Road at the bridge site will be closed for a maximum of 45 days.

The official detour for the closure will be state Route 45, Salt Springs Road, Ellsworth Bailey Road and Palmyra Road. Access to all adjacent properties within the construction limits will be maintained at all times during construction of the project.
