Construction starts on new multi-purpose path in Middleburg Heights

Construction of a new multi-purpose path in Middleburg Heights will start soon along Smith Road. This path is part of the Southland Business District development, which aims to enhance walkability and access. The path will be 10 feet wide and built by Geauga Highway Co., LLC. It will run from W. 130th Street to the traffic signal, requiring the removal of an underground water vault. Work is expected to begin in early April and last about 60 days. Traffic will be affected, with one-way traffic southbound from Pearl Road to W. 130th Street during construction.
