The Board of Clark County Commissioners has approved $1.8 million in road surfacing projects to be completed this fall.

The projects will be completed jointly with Bethel, German, Mad River, Moorefield, Pleasant and Springfield Township, Villages of Enon and South Charleston and the City of New Carlisle.

Approved by the commission on Wednesday and nicknamed the Roadway Resurfacing project, the total cost of the resurfacing will be $1,086,484.66. The cost will be split among the nine townships, villages and county.

The county does the paving program every year in an effort to let township and other municipalities save money on asphalt, Clark County engineer Johnathan Burr said previously.

It’s unclear which roads will be resurfaced in the project. The projects are expected to be completed around Halloween.

In the last two years, roughly 80 streets have been repaved as part of the project, according to previous reporting by the Springfield News-Sun.
