Res No. 22-112 - Enter into agreement with ODOT for SR 91 Bridge Replacement Project; 9/20/2022
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) and ten (10) foot and elevated to better accommodate a future multi-purpose path along this section of roadway. See project plan attached.
The estimated cost for the City’s portion of the project including widening of the sidewalk work was initially $175,000. However, due to increased construction administration costs by ODOT and Norfolk Southern Railroad fees, the City’s portion has increased an additional $29,840 for a total cost of $204,840.00.
The project plans have been completed by ODOT and construction is scheduled for the summer of 2023.
