The Mount Vernon City Council has sanctioned a $3.1 million contract with the Ohio Department of Transportation for the expansion of Edgewood Road. The city's contribution to the costs will amount to $492,763.
According to the agenda from the Mount Vernon City Council meeting on Feb. 26, the Edgewood Road project will encompass widening, drainage enhancements, and multimodal improvements. The agreement stipulates that the city will bear 100% of the cost for features that both the state and Federal Highway Administration deem unnecessary for the project.
