SIDNEY — The Shelby County Commissioners have awarded a contract to ADN Safety Solutions to perform a no-passing-zone study.
According to Chief Deputy Engineer Nick Miller, Ohio Department of Transportation grant funds were available to pay the study and the county was awarded a grant.
ADN Safety Solutions will travel every inch of every Shelby County road during the study to determine if any sections of roadway should be designated as no-passing zones. ADN employees have already begun the work.
“They’ll be driving the roadways for awhile. It should take them a few months,” Miller said.
