Flowers Along US 23

Presented by Hometown-Motors, Inc.

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has used wildflowers as pollinators along grassy areas throughout the state for years.

One such stretch is the former weigh station areas on US 23 near Ohio 159 north of Chillicothe in Ross County.

In a recent update of The Loop from ODOT’s media division, the pollinators not only help the environment, but also save taxpayers in mowing costs.

Spargursville Road Repair Continues

Presented by Hometown-Motors, Inc.

A portion of Spargursville Road in Ross County received road slippage repair work this week.

The road has been a challenge for work crews and travelers since the slippage began in 2018.

Ross County Engineer, Charles Ortman confirmed with Litter Media in April, the road would expect to receive attention by mid summer 2020.

The remainder of the project will likely take more time as only one lane remains open. Workers attempted to repair the work in 2018, however the work was washed away in another heavy rainfall. It was one of 20 county roads impacted by slippage, forcing work to be delayed till now.
