Purpose & Explanation
ODOT is required to request and receive legislation from the City of Hudson prior to making any repairs to State Highways within the corporate limits of the municipality. This request is for the replacement of the 14-foot by 8-foot bridge under SR 91 near Yours Truly Restaurant, PNC Bank and the Evaporator Works within the corporation limits of the City of Hudson. As part of the project, the City has requested that the sidewalk along the west side of SR 91 be widened to eight (8) feet and elevated to better accommodate a future multi-purpose path along this section of roadway. See project plan attached.
The City of Hudson’s estimated cost for widening of the sidewalk work is $175,000. For a portion of the construction, when the existing bridge sections are removed and replaced, SR 91 will be closed for up to 16 consecutive calendar days. During this time, a detour will be posted. This is not a traditional LPA project and Hudson will not be overseeing the construction. The project plans have been completed by ODOT and construction is scheduled for the summer of 2023.
