Barberton 2023 Street Resurfacing Updates

You might have noticed that our crews are hard at work improving the roads of Barberton!

Thanks to the passage of Issue 8 in 2013, we have resurfaced over 35% of our roads in the last 10 years. While we are proud of our progress, we know there is still more work to be done. See our upcoming projects below!

Asphalt Resurfacing Program

We are focused on resurfacing residential streets and received recommendations on which streets to focus on from Council representatives, residents, staff, and the City’s engineering consultant, GPD Group. To complete this project, we are working with Perrin Asphalt and Concrete – the contractor with the lowest bid in regard to their resurfacing methods. See the streets to be resurfaced below!

Additional Projects

In addition to our Resurfacing Program, we are working on a handful of other projects with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). These projects will take place throughout the city, improving sidewalks, curbs, crosswalks, water lines, and more. See upcoming projects below!

South Van Buren from Snyder Avenue to Russell Avenue will be reconstructed including curbs,  drive aprons, storm sewer, sidewalk, water line, installing fiber optic conduits, tree lawns, and other required work for a full reconstruction of this roadway. Russell Avenue to Eastern Road will have a  storm sewer installed and will be resurfaced. Construction to start Fall 2023. 

Taylor Road from Wooster Road West to Eastern Road will be receiving a new 8” water main including new valves, fire hydrants, and water services. Once the water main is complete the road will be resurfaced. 

4th Street from West Lake Avenue to Norton Avenue, Hopocan Avenue from Hillsdale Avenue to  8th Street NW, Norton Avenue from 17th Street NW to Barber Road, and Snyder Avenue from 2nd Street SW to 5th Street SE. These projects reconstruct these streets by milling, resurfacing,  updating ADA-compliant crossings, and adding signage and pavement markings. 

Wooster Road North and State Street intersection will be completely reconstructed and replaced,  along with curbing, sidewalk, drive aprons, and waterline. The proposed project will extend from  West Hiram Street to the State Route 619 Bridge on State Street and from Ashland Court to East  Hiram Street on Wooster Road North. 

Holmes Avenue improvements, the project will improve pedestrian safety and access to the  Summit DD and Lake Anna YMCA by closing the Wunderlich intersection at Hopocan, improving the pedestrian crosswalk on Hopocan, and extending Holmes Avenue from 3rd Street NW to  Wunderlich.  

Wooster Road West from Hudson Run to 2nd Street, will be completely reconstructed including the curb, sidewalk, drive aprons, and other utility upgrades. A new Railroad crossing will be built.  Wooster Rd West from Hudson Run to 31st Street will be resurfaced. 

Robinson and Wooster Road intersection, ODOT will also be completing a safety-funded project that started in 2022.
