RELATED: Seward, Symmes among Fairfield’s road projects for 2017
John R. Jurgensen’s winning bid came in at just under $930,000 for the project that includes shoring up Seward Road from Tylersville to just past the railroad tracks just north of the Miami-Erie Canal Bike Path. The initial estimate was at $1.16 million.
The project on Seward Road won’t be widening the road, Mann said, but rather extending the shoulders and “fixing the edges to make it safer.” Mann said there won’t be any overlay on the roadway as it was paved in recent years.
“It’s almost more of a maintenance project,” he said.
The last time Symmes Road was repaved was close to 20 years ago, which is when the old Fisher Body plant was a large vacant industrial warehouse.
“It does have a lot more tenants and that means more heavy users,” said Mann.
