Construction Coming To Onaway Road Sept. 14

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — The Onaway Road RTA crossing will be closed Sept. 14-Sept. 29, the city announced. The crossing will be undergoing reconstruction during that period. The city said the work should be finished by Sept. 29 but weather could extend the project.

During the construction, both vehicular and pedestrian traffic across Van Aken, on Onaway, will be prohibited. Detour signs will be posted.

Pedestrians will also be able to cross at temporary crossings outside the construction area. Those temporary crossings will be marked with signs.

Some construction on the site will be conducted in a 24-hour work period, beginning at 1:30 a.m. on Sept. 16 and ending 7 p.m. Sept. 19. Regular service of the RTA will be maintained by trains or buses.
