Pothole patching crews are wrapping up their work earlier this year in Trumbull County thanks to a winter season that went easier on the roads and plows.

"We didn't get as much of the extreme below zero temperatures as we had in the previous years, and that helped us keep the roads in better shape this year," said Tom Klejka, highway superintendent for the Trumbull County Engineer's Office.

It costs an average of $1,000 a day for crews to patch those pesky gaps in the pavement.

The highway department has $1.2 million in its annual budget to repair roads. Klejka said about 10 to 20-percent goes to fixing potholes, with this year that figure expected to be on the lower end.

"This will push along some other projects that were on the back burner. Now that we have a little bit extra funding, we'll be able to pick up and do those projects," Klejka said. 

Some of the most notorious bumpy rides include North Road in Warren, portions of Tibbetts Wick Road and Logan Way in Liberty Township.

The Shannon Road paving project is almost complete. The road is off of Tibbetts Wick and runs in front of Girard High School.

Two sections of Warren Sharon Road will get repaved this summer.

North Road from Market Street to Route 422 is on the list for road repairs.

Fresh white paint hit the street on Salt Springs Road Monday morning, where work is set to start up on the heavily traveled stretch off of I-80.
