NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio -- One benefit of the stay-at-home spring is contractors working on two separate North Olmsted road projects are ahead of schedule.
”We’re happy these projects are going on,” Mayor Kevin Kennedy said. “It’s important to keep up in the street program no matter what time you’re in. The replacement of streets is of the utmost importance to the neighborhood.”
North Olmsted City Engineer Pietro A. DiFranco said Specialized Construction is more than halfway finished with the city’s 2020 street rehab project.
The $1.4 million program -- which started in mid-April and is more than a week ahead of schedule -- involves the resurfacing of Alden Drive, Ashbury Park Drive, Brendan Circle, Brendan Lane, Brighton Drive, Cambridge Drive, Forest Ridge Drive, Hampton Drive and Somerset Drive. There’s also crack sealing or pavement markings.
“These are existing concrete streets that we’re overlaying with asphalt,” DiFranco said. “We’re using the existing concrete as a base, which is still strong so you’re not losing that strength. Plus, you don’t have to take that material to a landfill.”
Due to be completed in July, the project also involves reconstructing and rehabilitating the pavement base, catch basins, curbs and curb ramps.
As far as the roughly $875,000 Country Club Boulevard East project located between Great Northern Boulevard and Columbia Road, Chagrin Valley Paving began construction last month with an anticipated early September completion date.
“That project is going really well, and a little ahead of schedule,” DiFranco said. “We’re just fortunate that we got on the contractor’s schedule so early. With COVID, there’s less traffic on the road, so that helps the contractors work a little faster.”
This marks the final phase of the improvements to Country Club Boulevard, which in addition to resurfacing will also receive a center median with street lighting and landscaping. The median requires the reduction from four to two lanes of traffic on Country Club Boulevard.
Also, the project includes connecting the end of the current bike path -- which terminates at Great Northern Boulevard along I-480 across Great Northern Boulevard -- to Columbia Road.
The other notable addition to the Country Club Boulevard East project has to do with completing its sidewalks on the west side of Columbia Road between Brookpark Road and approximately 350 feet south of I-480.
“It’s that time of year where you have to be extra safe driving through the construction zones,” Kennedy said. “Just take precautions and realize that there are going to be cones out there and people working. We ask that you just take your time getting through the neighborhoods.”
