State explains Route 30 changes
MAYFIELD — Supervisor Herb McLain said he likes the safety improvements the state Department of Transportation is planning for Route 30.
He’s just not crazy about the sidewalks that will come with the project.
More than 60 people gathered in the high school auditorium Thursday for the latest in a series of public information meetings conducted by the DOT on its Route 30 project.
The actual work of the project mostly will be contained on Route 30 and involves three main pieces, DOT Regional Design Engineer Stephen J. Zywiak said. The Route 30 bridge over Kennyetto Creek will be replaced, a two-lane roundabout will be installed at the intersection of Routes 30 and 29, and a left-turn lane and signal will be added for drivers trying to stay on Route 30 instead of continuing onto County Route 155.
Part of the project also will involve the creation of a sidewalk on both sides of Route 30.
