Of all ODOT's employees, the County Highway Maintenance Workers are those who are the most visible to the traveling public.  These are the employees who clear the state highways of snow and ice during the winter months.  When not cleaning snow and ice, or responding to other emergencies, county crews perform highway maintenance such as: 

• Guardrail Installation and Repair

• Pavement Repair and Resurfacing

• Vegetation Control - Mowing and Cutting Brush

• Litter Control

• Drain Cleaning and Maintenance

• Sign and Pavement Marking Replacement 

The Portage County Garage facility is located in Rootstown. This county maintains the roadways on federal and state routes in and around Garrettsville, Windham, Hiram, Mantua, Aurora, Streetsboro, Kent, Ravenna, and Atwater.
