Article Presented By Scioto Valley Dumpsters, LTD

(Hillsboro) – Work is set to begin on a resurfacing project on U.S. Route 50 between the city of Hillsboro and Carper Lane, starting July 11th. 

Work will occur weekdays from 7am-5pm between the Hillsboro corporation limit and Haggerty Road. Traffic will be maintained in one lane using flaggers, as needed, during work hours. This work will include milling and replacement of the existing pavement.

More extensive work will take place between Haggerty Road and Carper Lane. Crews will be rebuilding the roadway from the dirt up. For the first phase of construction, this will require a full closure of the westbound lane of U.S. 50. During the closure, westbound traffic will be detoured via S.R. 753, S.R. 506, and S.R. 124. Eastbound traffic and access to driveways will be maintained during this phase.

The $4.3 million project was awarded to the Shelly Company and is expected to be completed Fall 2022.
