Cedar Road Resurfacing Moving To Next Phase

BEACHWOOD, OH — Work will begin on the south side of Cedar Road on Tuesday, the city of Beachwood announced. Left-hand turns in the construction area will be limited until at least Sunday, July 14.

The north side of Cedar Road is being opened to traffic in each direction, in one lane, from I-271 to (about 700 feet west of) Richmond Road. This shift in construction is what's allowing work on the south side of Cedar to begin.

Cedar Road, in Beachwood, will allow only limited left-hand turns through the end of the week. All of the construction, and dates connected to the construction, are weather-dependent.

Significant traffic congestion is expected throughout the entire Cedar Road project.

Luckily, forecasts show sunny skies for most of the week. There is a 50-percent chance of thunderstorms on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. However, the storms are expected to clear by Friday and the rest of the week should be dry and warm.

The Cedar Road resurfacing project is being handled by the Cuyahoga County Department of Public Works. The project costs about $4.5 million and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2020.
