Athens Commissioners Discuss Roads and Bridge Projects
Athens County Commissioners held a lengthy session with Ohio Department of Transportation representatives focusing on Issue I funding for several road and bridge projects. Key items included delaying action on the County Road 5 dispute over engineering fees, dropping the Nelsonville Bypass from the plan pending environmental statements, and cautioning that a Jan 1 1979 deadline could cost funding for County Road 23. A local residents group urged improvements on Road 315 East. The panel also approved multiple contracts and bids for sewer, courthouse work, road maintenance, and financial use of funds.
