July 16, 2025 - Update
Construction Set to Begin July 28 on Ravenna/Shepard/Broadway/Richmond Intersection Improvements
Construction will begin on the long-anticipated Ravenna/Shepard/Broadway/Richmond intersection improvement project on Monday, July 28, 2025. Residents and commuters can expect to see construction signage, equipment deliveries, and crews mobilizing as early as next week, in preparation for the start of work.
Please note: While lane closures will not begin until Monday, July 28, activity in the area will increase in the days leading up to that date.
At least one lane of traffic in each direction will remain open throughout construction. Access to homes, businesses, and nearby streets will also be maintained.
Project Description
The City of Twinsburg, in partnership with Glenwillow, Macedonia, and Oakwood Village, is planning improvements to the Ravenna/Shepard/Broadway/Richmond Intersection. This federally funded project will improve safety and functionality of the intersection.
The work included in this project:
Adding right-turn lanes on Ravenna Road and Broadway Avenue
Adding a left turn lane on Shepard Road.
Curb, sidewalk, signal, limited driveway restoration, and drainage improvement
Acquisition of minor new permanent and/or temporary rights-of-way as necessary to accommodate the proposed work
Project Timeframe
The project is anticipated to begin in 2025. A minimum of one lane of traffic in each direction for all roads will be maintained during the duration of construction and local access for abutting properties and adjacent streets will be maintained at all times. Construction and lane restrictions will be posted prior to the start of construction.
Project Funding The updated 2024 estimated construction cost of the project is $2,205,000.00. 80% of this is funded by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). An additional, $309,088 obtained from Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) will reimburse a portion of the engineering and inspection costs.

Ravenna/Shepard/Broadway/Richmond Intersection Improvement has finished this stage
This intersection is shared between four municipalities, located in two counties adding to the complexity of completing upgrades. In 2008 the City passed legislation to improve the intersection with Village of Oakwood the lead agency moving this project forward. The existing intersection operates poorly primarily due to insufficient turn lanes on Richmond Road and Shepard Road. In 1999 the level of service was “E” and the 2006 Level of service is was “F”. The proposed improvements will improve the intersection level of service. However by 2011, the communities could not come to an agreement for upgrades to the entire intersection so Glenwillow and Oakwood in Cuyahoga County pursued and completed the Richmond leg improvements to the intersection which was completed in 2013.
2017-2021
Ravenna/Shepard/Broadway/Richmond Intersection Improvement has finished this stage
In 2017 an agreement associated with maintenance of the intersection was entered into and all parties agreed to prepare plans to complete the intersection improvements. In 2019 Ohio statewide Urban Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Funding was secured for the project. This resulted into a formal agreement to proceed with final plans, environmental NEPA coordination, right of way plans and acquisition and construction being signed in 2021.
The City of Twinsburg became the lead agency to move this project forward. The plan was to add and align turn lanes at the intersection and optimize signal timings.
