Medina, Ohio – While he acknowledged traffic issues can always be difficult and frustrating, Mayor Jim Shields asked the motoring public to be patient and to make preparations for delays during the final two weeks of October.
Construction Details
“The concrete work on Court Street (US 42) from Homestead down to Lafayette is complete but milling and paving will start on Court Street Oct. 19 and is expected to last at least two weeks,” Shields said. “That is all dependent on weather and having enough personnel.”
Shields said the paving and milling work will start near Homestead Street and work its way south to Lafayette Road.
