Lakewood Plans $2.3 Million Detroit-Sloane Construction Project

LAKEWOOD, OH — The Detroit-Sloane intersection will be upgraded in 2021, the city of Lakewood announced.

As part of a $2.3 million project, crews will improve water and sewer infrastructure beneath the intersection, upgrade the connection to the Rocky River Reservation trail and implement public art around the streets.

The city has secured more than $1.4 million in grants, primarily from NOACA and the Ohio Department of Transportation, to help cover the cost of the project.

In a funding request for the project, city officials said the improvements to Detroit-Sloane would facilitate Lakewood's economic growth and "reinforce the city's reputation as a vibrant, healthy and welcoming community."

Construction on the Detroit-Sloane intersection would begin in spring 2021. More information on the upcoming project can be found in the city's request for funding, which has been shared online.

The Ohio Department of Transportation is also planning on updating the I-90 bridge over the Rocky River Reservation. Work on that project would also begin in early 2021.
