Project opens nine months ahead of schedule.
The long awaited I-90 / Nagel Road interchange is expected to open at the end of December, Project Manager Don Damyanic and Mayor Jim Smith confirmed today. “We’ll know about 72 hours ahead of time,” Smith said of the opening, which is 9 months ahead of schedule. “It’s a moving target; the weather has a lot to do with it.” Damyanic announced earlier this week that three roads would re-open tomorrow, Dec. 5. “All of the paving and striping is now complete,” Damyanic said. “What is left are traffic signals, lights, signs, and some safety items. We have had to wait on First Energy to complete some work as their forces are thinned as many workers are still on the east coast after the hurricane.” Smith said the opening will most likely include …

Rain means openings delayed for a few weeks.
Don Damyanic, the project manager for the City of Avon in the Nagel Road interchange project, said the opening of Avon and Nagel Roads is slightly behind schedule. The roads, initially expected to be open by the end of September, will remain closed for several more weeks. Damyanic blamed the weather for the delay. “We had hoped to have our paving contractor back on site by now but a job they needed to complete before returning was delayed by the rain we’ve had the last few weeks,” Damyanic said by email. “We hope that two weeks into October we will be back on track to open.” Despite the short-term delay in the road openings, Damyanic said the overall project is still ahead of where originally intended overall.

Demolition and a complete reconstruction of the bridge will take 18 months.
It’s official. Following a slight delay caused by rainy weather, construction manager Don Damyanic has announced that the Nagel Road bridge will close Monday, Oct. 3. Damyanic has advised that motorists from surrounding communities should figure out how best to circumvent the bridge before tomorrow’s morning commute. That means Nagel between Detroit Road and and I-90 will only be useable for local traffic, as there are no outlets (Avon Road remains closed at the Westlake border). And Nagel will be closed south of Chester. According to the city’s web site, detour signs will be posted and alternate routes include: Bradley Road, Chester Road, Krebs Road, Jaycox Road and Walker Road. The bridge will be torn down completely with demolition …

Work projects three of the six items on agenda
In a quick work session Monday night, Avon City Council discussed ordinances covering the Avon Fire Department, road work and sewer work.
