DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – The Greene County Engineer’s Office has reopened Indian Ripple Road at Factory Road this Saturday.

The road was closed between Alpha Bellbrook and Upper Bellbrook roads and between Shaketown and Indian Ripple roads. These closures were because a digger derrick utility truck damaged the bridge on the night of Thursday, April 30. (This type of truck is often used for utility, telecom and construction work. It has a hydraulic boom and auger.)

The County Engineer and staff placed detours and did a preliminary assessment. Then, after the truck was removed on May 1, crews fully assessed the damage.

MAHONING COUNTY - Voters in Mahoning County have chosen to renew a .25% sales tax to be used for roads, bridges and other infrastructure in Mahoning County.

The tax renewal passed by 65.5%.

Mahoning County Engineer Pat Ginnetti told 21 News that the sales tax has allowed the Engineer’s Office to pave about 150 miles of road since it was first passed in 2022.
