Dunham Road Rehabilitation Project Complete, Ribbon Cutting Announced
We’re excited to announce the successful completion of a $3 million road rehabilitation project in the City of Maple Heights and the Village of Walton Hills.
The project included the repair, widening, and resurfacing of Dunham Road, sewer main and sanitary lateral repairs, and the addition of bike lanes in both directions.
The Project also included repairs and resurfacing of Tinkers Creek Road in the Village of Walton Hills.
The Dunham Road Rehabilitation Project was developed and executed as a partnership between Cuyahoga County, the Village of Walton Hills, and the City of Maple Heights.
The Dunham Road Rehabilitation Project ribbon cutting ceremony took place on Friday, July 30, 2021.
Walton Hills Mayor Donald Kolograf said, “On behalf of the residents of the Village of Walton Hills, I wish to thank our partners at the City of Maple Heights and Cuyahoga County on the successful completion of the Dunham Road Rehabilitation Project. Further, our Service Department led by Rob Kalman and our Engineer Joe Gigliotti of Chagrin Valley Engineering, Ltd. did a great job managing this project. This vital regional artery has been upgraded to current design standards that provides a safe multi-modal method of travel for all of our residents.”
It was an honor for us to be a part of such an incredible and large project and we are so proud of the outcome that will allow safer bike lanes and an improved traffic flow throughout.
The bike lanes are the first in the City of Maple Heights and establish a vital connection between the City of Maple Heights, the Village of Walton Hills, the Cleveland MetroParks Bedford Reservation, and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Maple Heights Mayor Annette Blackwell said, “The Dunham Road Rehabilitation Project is a crucial step forward in the work of environmental justice and acting on the City’s commitment to racial equality. Equal access to outdoor recreation facilities, such as regional and national parks, is important for residents’ quality of life and health.”
A ribbon cutting ceremony took place on Friday, July 30, 2021 and was held at the turnaround on the west side of Dunham Road across the street from 6351 Dunham Road in Maple Heights.
