Repairs Planned On Athens East Bypass By DOT
Ohio Department of Transportation says repairs to the Athens East Bypass will start Wednesday with sealing sand fill between the berm and concrete. Engineers who inspected the road Monday found the berm and concrete had separated due to settlement and this may have caused cracking. Subsequent work may include mud jack lifting or filling depressions with bituminous material.
