Reminder: University Circle Construction Starts Monday

CLEVELAND, OH — Crews will be resurfacing Mayfield Road in the Little Italy neighborhood, and a portion of Chester Avenue near University Circle, starting May 14. There will be no street parking on Mayfield Road during this time, so visitors to Little Italy are being asked to use the RTA Rapid Station.

Mayfield Road, between Euclid Avenue and E. 126th Street, will only be open to westbound traffic during construction. Drivers going east will be detoured along Euclid Avenue and Superior Road and then back onto Mayfield.

Pedestrian access will be fully maintained during the project, ODOT said. There will be some very brief closures of curb ramps that need ADA upgrades.

Chester Avenue is being resurfaced between E. 93rd Street and Euclid Avenue. Traffic will be maintained in both directions, but will be reduced to one lane. Lanes will be shifted to the north side of the roadway for work to take place on the southern half of the road, ODOT said.

The Mayfield Road project should be completed in July 2018. The Chester Avenue resurfacing should be completed in October 2018.

The project is being handled by Karvo Companies. ODOT said the resurfacings will cost $1,638,898.
