Current Construction Projects

Updated: March 6, 2025

The following projects are scheduled for 2025.

STREET REPAIR PROGRAM
Our annual street repair program is dedicated to improving neighborhood streets throughout the city. Mentor streets are evaluated every other year based on a standard formula developed by ODOT. A pavement condition rating is assigned to each street based on that formula. Each year, streets in two of Mentor’s four wards are evaluated. Streets are then prioritized based on these ratings, as well as available funding, so that street repairs are equally divided between all four wards.

Approximately 30 streets are designated for repair each year. In 2025, the city of Mentor will invest roughly $1.8 million local dollars in resurfacing and repairing 18 asphalt and 12 concrete neighborhood streets. They include:
