2023 Project Image for Cleveland-Massillon Road Resurfacing Project, Phases I and II

Project updated: Jul 11, 2023

PHASE: Construction

Cleveland-Massillon Road Resurfacing Project, Phases I and II

SCE has secured federal funding for the resurfacing of two sections of Cleveland-Massillon Road. In order to save time and money, we will bid and then construct the projects at the same time. 

Phase I: Work includes pavement  repairs, shoulder restoration and resurfacing, and pavement markings on 1.77 miles of Cleveland Massillon Road from the Norton line to 0.1 miles north of Minor Road. Located north of Brenner Road and south of Stimson Road there is a 600 foot long section of Cleveland-Massillon Road that is located between two high walls of rock cut that start immediately behind the existing curbs. Pedestrians in this area are forced to walk in the street through this corridor. This project will provide a 6 foot wide area behind the curb for use by pedestrians. Construction estimate for this section is $1.1 million.

Phase II: Work includes pavement  repairs, shoulder restoration and resurfacing, and pavement markings on 1.8 miles Cleveland Massillon Road from .4 miles north of Minor to just south of E. Ridgewood Road. Construction estimate for this section is $1.17 million.

2023 Project Image for 2023 Pavement Maintenance Program

Project updated: Mar 9, 2023

PHASE: Construction

2023 Pavement Maintenance Program

The Pavement Maintenance Program includes hot mix resurfacing, chip and seal resurfacing, motor paving, asphalt rejuvenation, crack sealing, and pavement marking on various County roads. The list of roads is below.  

405 resurfacing is also known as Motor Paving. The contractor uses a stationary plant on-site to prepare the asphalt mixture, places it on the roadway, and compacts the mixture with a roller. 422 (chip seal) is then placed on top of the 405.

422 resurfacing is also known as a chip seal. The contractor places an asphalt emulsion on the roadway, spreads gravel on top of the emulsion, compacts the stone into the emulsion with a roller, and then sweeps the excess gravel from the road the same day. Sweeps are repeated about a week later to ensure loose gravel is completely removed from the roadway.

448 resurfacing is also known as Hot Mix Asphalt. The asphalt is prepared in an asphalt plant, transported to the site in heated trucks, placed on the roadway in the desired thickness, and then compacted with a roller.  448 is the most durable (and most expensive) asphalt pavement and resists rutting and can handle heavier traffic loads more than 405 and 422 resurfacing.  It is used in locations that have heavy traffic and a high percentage of truck traffic.

Asphalt Rejuvenation: An asphalt rejuvenating agent is applied to hot mix asphalt pavement that was placed one or two years ago.  The agent restores flexibility and water resilience that the asphalt surface lost due to weathering and the passage of time. Forty-five minutes after the rejuvenating agent is applied, sand is placed over the agent to absorb excess agent and provide enhanced vehicle traction.  One week later, the excess sand will be swept from the road surface.

Crack sealing is a method in which hot sealant is applied to existing cracks in the roadway to prevent water intrusion.

2028-2030 Project Image for High Level Bridge Replacement Project

Project updated: Apr 14, 2022

PHASE: Proposed

High Level Bridge Replacement Project

The Summit County Engineer's Office has begun the long process of replacing the High Level Bridge, also known as the N. Main Street Bridge over the Cuyahoga River. This bridge is by far the largest and most expensive owned by Summit County. The current plan recommended by the Summit County Engineer’s office would replace the existing structure with a completely new structure as soon as practical, which is assumed to be 6-10 years. The all-new structure would be on an offset alignment to allow the existing structure to carry traffic while the new structure is built. There would be minimal disruption to traffic during construction. Additional right of way would be needed to construct the new structure. The new structure would carry four lanes of traffic and two sidewalks. The new structure is estimated to be a continuous weathering steel beam type structure composite with a reinforced concrete deck on reinforced concrete piers and abutments.
