Old Troy Pike and Merily Way Widening Projects
Updated 08/07/23
Old Troy Pike from Taylorsville Road to the old Huber Court has been widened on the northbound (east side) to add a lane that will be used for access to the new Broad Reach Development located on the southeast corner of Old Troy Pike and Taylorsville Road. A portion of Taylorsville Road was also widened near the intersection.
Starting in August, the City will continue the widening on Old Troy Pike (northbound) from Huber Court through the Merily Way/Waynetowne Boulevard intersection to the eastbound ramp onto I-70. A portion of Merily Way will also be widened in front of Arby’s and McDonalds to the Car Wash. The widening will help traffic by providing more storage and better access to the new development and to all of the existing restaurants along the widening route. Also, a new mast arm traffic signal will be installed at the intersection.

ODOT Repaving of Brandt Pike
Updated 08/07/23
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is working with the City of Huber Heights to make roadway improvements to Brandt Pike (S.R. 201) from Fishburg Road going south past Tom Cloud Park to the City’s Corp. Line. This portion of roadway has been in poor condition for a few years and the City asked ODOT to include this section of road in their yearly paving program. ODOT did agree and they just recently bid this project and John R. Jurgensen was the contractor chosen to do the work. The work includes milling the entire roadway and then resurfacing the road with a new 2” layer of asphalt.
The work is scheduled to begin in mid August and is estimated to take about 6 weeks to complete. The work will take place during the night, (Monday night through Friday night) starting at 7 pm in the evening and ending at 6 am in the morning. An aerial map is attached that shows the length of Brandt Pike that is included in the resurfacing project.
During the milling and resurfacing, the street will remain open to traffic. ODOT has decided to do the work at night because of the very high traffic volume during the day (26,000 vehicles per day) and the very low traffic volume at night. This will also allow the road to be fully open during the day to handle the traffic and not cause driving delays. Working at night will also provide a safer environment for the workers and it will allow the work to go faster, which will help shorten the completion time.
As stated, this is an ODOT run project, if you have any questions about the project, you can call ODOT at (937) 492-1141 or contact the City at (937) 233-1423 and ask to speak to the Engineering Department.
Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project
Updated 08/07/23
Project Completed
The City has contracted with United Survey, Inc. to begin lining portions of old clay sanitary sewer in the southern portion of the city that have been televised by Tr-Cities camera crew and have been rated the worst for cracks, misaligned joints, and partially collapsed pipe. This project began last month and will include 7,302 L.F. of pipe to be lined. This process has been used in the City six times in the past and has worked well to prolong the life of the sewer. This project has started and is expected to last approximately 2 to 3 months. See the map below for lining locations.

2024 Sidewalk Program
Updated 08/07/23
The Huber Heights Engineering Division has begun another year of the City's annual Sidewalk Repair and Replacement Program. The Sidewalk Program begins each year when the Engineering Division selects an area of the city to perform the work. A City Inspector will make an initial inspection and will place markings on the sidewalk. The City Engineer will then make a final determination as to what work needs to be accomplished. The citizens in the selected area will then be sent a letter describing the program and what steps are to be taken to get the repairs completed. There are two choices presented, the first option for getting the work completed is for the homeowner to hire a private contractor to make the repairs to the lot. The City will provide a list of contractors that are currently bonded with the City. Once a contractor is chosen, they must apply for a permit prior to the work getting started. During the construction, City inspections must be made before and after any concrete is put in place. All work for this option should be completed by December 31st. If the work does not get completed, the City will make the repairs with the program the following spring. The second option is to do nothing, wait until the spring, and allow the City to include your property in the City's bidding process and have the City's contractor perform the work on your behalf. The City will provide an estimated amount for the construction work. After the City hires a contractor and the work is completed, you will receive a bill in the summer for the actual amount of the work completed which includes a 10% administrative fee (2% paid by the City). You may choose to pay the bill by the specified date or have the bill assessed to your property taxes and have the payments spread out over a 5 year period. All bills placed on the property records will incur additional charges of interest and county collection fees for the entire 5 years.
This year's Sidewalk Program is located between Harshmanville Road and Brandt Pike just north of Longford Road. The streets in this year's program are as follows:
Greydale drive: from 7300 to 7409 Greydale Drive
Maringo Drive: from 7301 to 7416 Maringo Drive
Howland Place: 7201 Howland Place
Glengate Court: from 7300 to 7315 Glengate Court
Encanto Place: from 7100 to 7138 Encanto Place
Longford Road: from 6212 to 6712 Longford Road
Citadel Drive: from 7100 to 7308 Citadel Drive
Highbury Drive: from 6600 Highbury Drive to 6868 Highbury Drive

2022 Water Main Replacement Project
Updated 08/07/23
The Water Main Replacement Project for 2022 was bid out for local contractors. The bid resulted with 7 contractors bidding on the project and M & T Excavating was the lowest and best contractor and they were awarded the contract. The water main will be replaced on several different streets in the Huber Heights area that has had numerous water main breaks over the last few years. The location of the replacements include portions of the following streets: Hubbard Drive, Hinckley Court, Cruxten Dr, Holbrook Drive, Helwig Drive, and Alter Road (Map Attached). The order of construction is also listed on the map.
The start of the project was March 1, 2023. The delay was due to the current delivery time for the zinc coated ductile iron pipe. It will take approximately 6 to 8 months to complete construction. The new pipe will be installed by trenching or boring either in the street or in the grass area between the sidewalk and the curb. The installation project will include new fire hydrants and new water valves. The old water main will be abandoned.
The cost for the water main replacement on these streets is $1,850,000.

2023 Water Main Replacement Program
Updated 08/07/23
The water main for this project will be replaced on several different streets in the Huber Heights area that have had numerous water main breaks over the last few years. The locations of the replacements include portions of Hubbard, Chesham, Sandbury, Tewkesbury, Hartwick, Alter, Longford, and Storck (Map Attached).
The design of the water main replacement was completed at the end of April. We went out to bid in June to get a contractor to install the pipe. The pipe is on order at this time and is scheduled to arrive in August or September. Construction should begin after that time. We will probably use two contractors to do the work and it should take approximately 6 to 8 months to complete (weather dependent). The new pipe will be installed by trenching in the street and the work will include new fire hydrants and water valves. The old water main will be abandoned.

East Water Main Extension
Updated 08/07/23
The City of Huber Heights will soon begin the installation of a new water main extension on Bellefontaine Road from just south of Belle Plain Drive going north to CenterPoint 70 Drive (north of I-70). This water main will be used to make a new connection to the City’s water system in CenterPoint 70. Currently, the water at CenterPoint 70 is being supplied by Clark County. The City has decided to terminate a service agreement with Clark County that has been in effect for many years. Once the new water main is installed, a connection will be made to the existing piping and water tower. The existing water piping that leaves CenterPoint 70 (going to Clark County) will be cut and capped off with new fire hydrants. We will be installing approximately 7,900 feet of 16” water main. This new water main will also provide the opportunity for future extensions on Taylorsville Road and other areas for possible development to the east side of the City. The City will be using a federal grant from ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) to help fund this project.
East Sanitary Sewer Extension
Updated 08/07/23
The City of Huber Heights is in the process of installing a new sanitary sewer extension on the east side of the City near State Route 4. The installation begins at the Fairborn Wastewater Treatment Plant, crosses State Route 4 then runs north along the west side of Route 4 to New Carlisle Pike, then continues north crossing I-70. A sanitary force main will then be installed going north to CenterPoint 70 Boulevard and then it ends at a new pump station on the east side of the road. This sanitary sewer will be used to make a new connection to the City’s sanitary system in CenterPoint 70. Currently, the sewage from the sanitary sewers at CenterPoint 70 is being sent to Clark County for treatment. The City has decided to terminate a service agreement with Clark County that has been in effect for many years. Once the new sanitary sewer is installed, a connection will be made to the existing sanitary piping. The existing sanitary piping that leaves CenterPoint 70 (going to Clark County) will be cut and capped off. We will be installing approximately 9,000 feet of 12” and 15” sanitary sewer along with 2 new pump stations. This new sanitary sewer will also provide for development opportunities on the east side of the City when future extensions of sanitary sewer are installed along Chambersburg Road.
