Village of Shreve and ODOT Partner on SR 226 Repairs Ahead of Full Resurfacing in 2026

SHREVE, OH — June 2, 2025 — The Village of Shreve is pleased to share important updates on the future of State Route 226 through the village and the upcoming improvements that will enhance safety and drivability for residents and visitors alike.

In partnership with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 3, Mayor Josiah Martin, Village Council Members, Joan Zimmerly (Planning and Grant Administrator), and the Village Street Department Staff Josh Menuez, Mike Eikleberry, & Greg Menuez have been actively working to address the current condition of SR 226 within village limits. While the full resurfacing of the roadway is officially scheduled by ODOT for the 2026 construction season, interim surface repairs will begin in the coming weeks to provide immediate relief.

At its most recent meeting, Village Council unanimously approved funding for the materials required to complete these temporary repairs. This local investment makes it possible for ODOT to move forward with labor and equipment to begin work promptly—demonstrating a true partnership between state and local government focused on public safety and community care.

The repairs will focus on milling and patching the worst sections of the roadway, significantly improving driving conditions ahead of the winter months. This joint effort reflects a practical, forward-thinking approach while preparing for long-term resurfacing in 2026.

“This is a great example of what can happen when local and state agencies come together to listen and respond,” said Mayor Martin. “We’re grateful to ODOT District 3 for stepping in to support the community and move this temporary work forward.”

Residents can expect to see ODOT crews active within the village limits soon. Please exercise caution and patience as crews work to complete this phase of the project.

It’s important to emphasize that the full resurfacing of SR 226 within the village remains an ODOT-led project and is currently on schedule for construction in 2026. The Village of Shreve will continue to advocate for progress and provide timely updates as additional details become available.

We thank our residents for their support, input, and continued engagement. These improvements mark an important step toward delivering a smoother, safer SR 226 through the heart of our community.

Residents may have noticed pavement damage along the road near the former Sweethaven building, as shown in the photo above. The damage is believed to be the result of thermal expansion — a condition in which pavement expands and buckles due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The Village of Shreve is aware of the issue and is actively working with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to address the situation as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please be advised of the following: A temporary traffic light will be installed at the affected area to help manage traffic flow safely while repairs are arranged. Motorists are asked to exercise caution when traveling through this area and to reduce speed accordingly. We ask for your patience as we work to get this resolved in a timely manner. The safety of our residents and visitors is our top priority. We will continue to provide updates as the repair process moves forward. Thank you for your understanding.

Public Service Announcement: Extreme Heat & Animal Safety

By Shreve Village Hall • June 11, 2026

The Village of Shreve would like to take this opportunity to remind all residents to be mindful of the ongoing heat and its impact on animals in your care. With temperatures remaining elevated, it is important to check on your animals regularly throughout the day. Please ensure they have access to the following at all times: Fresh, cool water — Water can heat up or be depleted quickly in high temperatures. Check and refill water sources multiple times daily. Adequate shade or shelter — Animals should have a shaded area or enclosed shelter where they can escape direct sunlight. Proper ventilation — Enclosed spaces such as coops, pens, and kennels can retain heat rapidly. Ensure airflow is sufficient. We also encourage residents to check in on neighbors who may need assistance caring for their animals during this time. If you observe an animal that appears to be in distress or is without adequate care, please contact the appropriate local authorities. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for helping keep our community — and its animals — safe this summer. Shreve Village Hall
