Columbiana road work ready for public input
COLUMBIANA, Ohio (WKBN) – Road work is coming to parts of Columbiana County, and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) wants to hear what people think about it.
An improvement project targeted for State Route 14 will include adding a two-way left turn lane and adding sidewalks along both sides of Route 14.
Traffic will be maintained in both directions.
Construction is expected to begin in summer 2026 and last about three months.
A six-mile-long resurfacing project is set for State Route 30 next summer in the county. The work will be done from the intersection of U.S. Route 30 and State Route 14 in Lisbon to the junction of State Route 30 and County Road 425/State Route 11 interchange.
The State Route 30 project is expected to last six months and will likely include a detour.
ODOT is seeking comments from the public for both of these projects. Written comments concerning the projects can be submitted online through the following links: State Route 30 — State Route 14.

If you do burnouts in your car at this local event, you can be charged
SALEM, Ohio (WKBN)- The City of Salem wanted to make the public aware of a new state law that was passed regarding burnouts. The city announced on Facebook that it will be abiding by a new law that prohibits activities like burnouts, wheelies and street racing. The post reads that drivers can be charged with a first-degree misdemeanor if they are street racing, stunt driving or participating in a street takeover. Offenders could face sanctions and have their driver's license suspended for up to three years. The city said that people who assist with this behavior will also be charged. Ohio Revised Code defines 'street racing' as the operation of two or more vehicles side-by-side at an accelerating speed in an attempt to out-distance each other. A 'street takeover' is the action of blocking or impeding the regular flow of traffic on a public road, street, highway, or public property that is open to the general public for street racing or stunt driving. Ohio Revised Code defines 'stunt driving' as performing or engaging in burnouts, doughnuts, drifting or wheelies, or allowing a passenger to ride either partially or fully outside of the vehicle while operating that vehicle.
