The City of Oregon has announced two upcoming road reconstruction projects as part of its Roadway Improvement Program, issuing construction notices for Springwood Drive West and Eastmoreland Drive North.

The first project will be handled by Crestline Paving & Excavating Co., Inc., based in Toledo. The work will focus on reconstructing and resurfacing Springwood Drive West, extending from Springwood Drive South to the terminus. Work is slated to begin the week of July 7, weather permitting, with “substantial completion” targeted for August 11.

The second project will be led by Sylvania-based Ebony Construction Co., Inc. This job covers the full repaving and reconstruction of Eastmoreland Drive North, between Edward Street and Coy Road. Construction is expected to start the week of August 13, weather permitting, with completion scheduled for September 24.

Both projects involve phased construction to fully remove deteriorated asphalt and install new pavement and curbs. Temporary road closures will be necessary as work progresses.

Each phase will include full pavement removal, stone base replacement, installation of pavement underdrains, replacement of curb inlets, construction of new curbs and gutters, partial replacement of driveway aprons, asphalt paving, and final backfilling with seeding behind the curb line.

During construction, driveway access may be briefly impacted. “Property owners will be notified directly in advance of any scheduled driveway closures, which will be kept to a minimum,” the city said. On-street parking will not be allowed during construction unless otherwise indicated. Vehicles that block construction operations may be towed at the owner’s expense.

Before excavation begins, contractors will coordinate with the Ohio Underground Protection Agency to mark utility lines. Utility companies will do their best to accurately locate all underground infrastructure. The city encourages residents to notify the engineering department of any unmarked underground features, including sprinkler systems, pet fencing, drainage tiles, or private utility lines.

“Curb replacement may impact sprinkler lines or heads located just behind the existing curbs in the public right-of-way,” the city noted.

For general questions or concerns, residents are advised to call the Oregon Department of Public Service at 419-698-7047 or the city’s non-emergency line at 419-698-7064 (option 4).

The City of Oregon continues to prioritize neighborhood infrastructure with these summer and early fall projects aimed at improving driving surfaces, drainage, and curb safety. These investments are part of a broader effort to revitalize residential streets and ensure long-term roadway durability.

Officials emphasized that communication with residents will remain ongoing throughout the work. Digital updates, door-to-door notices, and signage will help minimize disruption. As with previous projects, Oregon’s public works team aims to deliver safe and efficient upgrades with minimal inconvenience to residents.

Residents are encouraged to monitor the city's website and social media channels for project updates, including possible changes in schedules due to weather or site conditions.
