ERIE COUNTY SEEKS COMMENT ON CURVE REALIGNEMENT PROJECT IN BERLIN TOWNSHIP, ERIE COUNTY AND TOWNSEND TOWNSHIP, HURON COUNTY.

Berlin Township, Erie County and Townsend Township, Huron County – The Erie County Engineer’s Office and The Huron County Engineer’s Office, in conjunction with federal transportation funding provided by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), is proposing to realign the horizontal curve on Erie County Road 58 (Ceylon Road) and Huron County Road 58 (Hartland Center Road) in Berlin Township, Erie County and Townsend Township, Huron County.

The curve realignment will require a full closure of Ceylon Road and Hartland Center Road. Detour route for northbound traffic will be Wells Rd. west to SR 61 north to SR 113 east, and the reverse for southbound traffic. A local detour will be posted for Nash Road to be accessible from the east. It is preliminarily anticipated the detour will last for approximately 60 days. Proposed work for the replacement will require new right-of-way. Construction is anticipated to take place in 2021.

Written comments concerning the proposed project may be mailed to Mike Farrell, P.E., Project Engineer, Erie County Engineer’s Office, 2700 Columbus Ave., Sandusky, OH 44870. You may also contact by telephone at (419) 627-7710 or by email at mfarrell@eriecounty.oh.gov. Any comments must be received by Friday, October 26, 2019.
