A major capital improvement project at Lake White State Park in Pike County is likely to get under way soon as bids have been opened and an apparent low bidder announced.

On July 16, the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Office of Contracts opened bids for the project to rehabilitate state Route 104 and improve the dam at Lake White. Of the four bids that were received, the Sunesis Construction Company was the apparent low bidder with an amount of approximately $31.7 million. A contract should be awarded late next week, following review and pending approval of the proposed bid. See more
