The outside of the gas station is nearly complete.

To accommodate the increased traffic at that intersection, Giant Eagle agreed to pay for more than half of the cost to widen Trunko Road, which was finished earlier this summer.

Paving, landscaping and striping is done. Now all that's left is the signal work.
At last, Trunko Road is near completion, according to Fairlawn city officials. Crews put the finishing touches on the road Monday night by striping in the lanes.

The road was supposed to be open the first week of this month, but now it's looking as if it might open between the middle and end of the month, Staten said. Trunko closed on July 17. When crews arrived on construction day, they found that the utility department did not show up and mark lines like they were supposed to, Staten said. The company also marked a line wrong which led to a gas leak on Aug. 6. No work could be done at the site for 17 days, Staten said, and because Trunko Road is owned by Fairlawn, the construction crew could …
