The resurfacing project is a collaboration between Westlake, North Olmsted and the Ohio Department of Transportation. The project is 80 percent funded by the federal government.
The project is not simply a resurfacing. Crews will also work on a catch basin, curb and handicap ramp repair and re-striping the road to meet federal standards. The project is expected to last 75 days.
