Chester Road Construction Starts Monday In Avon

AVON, OH — Construction on Chester Road will start on Monday, the city of Avon announced on social media. Officials are hoping work on the project will be largely completed before the end of the year.

Crews will be widening Chester between State Route 83 and American Way. West of Traveler's Point, on Chester, traffic will only be maintained in one direction, westbound. Eastbound travel will be closed.

Detour routes will be posted near the construction zone. Police officers may also help guide traffic through and around the area. Drivers are being asked to consider using alternate routes to avoid the impacted stretch of Chester.

Driveway access along Chester will be maintained, but could be limited at times, the city said in a letter to residents. "Your patience and cooperation through the construction process is greatly appreciated," Avon's consulting engineer said in the letter.

As part of the project on Chester, crews will do drive apron and intersection reconstructions, storm sewer upgrades and replace a 12-inch water main. Liberta Construction will be handling the project.
