This year the City will spend approximately $1,200,000 in street paving. As part of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Urban Paving Program, the City will contribute $355,000 to repave portions of Lorain Road/Route 10. Lorain Road will be repaved from the Ohio Turnpike ramps to the Cuyahoga line, including the I-480 ramps. The intersection of Lorain/Lear Nagle/Cook will be excluded as it was done last year as part of the Lear Nagle widening project. In addition, Lorain Road west of Route 83 to Alternate 83, and across Alternate 83 to Chestnut Ridge Road will be repaved. As part of the ODOT Urban Repaving Program, ODOT will pay for 80% of the pavement items. This work is expected to go out for bid in May 2018 with work to begin June 2018.
