Eight-week detour begins Monday as federally funded safety project enters new phase
Work on the Ravenna–Shepard–Richmond–Broadway Intersection Improvement project is moving to the Shepard Road side of the project on Monday, October 6. To safely complete this phase, Shepard Road will be closed to southbound traffic between Broadway/Ravenna and Florence Drive.
The official detour directs traffic from the north to go west on Pettibone, south on North Bedford, and east on Ledge Road before returning to southbound Shepard. Northbound traffic on Shepard will remain open, though occasional construction delays are possible. Detour signage is already in place, and the closure is scheduled from October 6 through November 26, 2025.
If you are coming from the east (Twinsburg), please plan ahead and consider alternate southbound options you may already be familiar with.
Officials ask for patience as crews work to complete the critical infrastructure improvements.
