The Cuyahoga Riverfront Development Project has uniquely showcased the depth and diversity of Great Lakes Construction’s capabilities, engaging every sector of the Company. Early phases of the project included installation of a new bulkhead wall along the Cuyahoga River and extensive site preparation, including environmental remediation.
Great Lakes has continued to demonstrate its ability to deliver complex scopes through deep utility installations and the demolition of the existing Eagle Avenue Viaduct over active GCRTA tracks. Great Lakes’ expertise in wastewater infrastructure has also supported construction of a new pump station that will serve both the development and the surrounding area.
Looking ahead, Great Lakes will continue to play a key role as construction begins on the new Eagle Avenue Bridge, helping to reconnect and enhance this revitalized region to downtown Cleveland.
As a proud Northeast Ohio-based contractor, Great Lakes Construction is deeply invested in the growth and revitalization of the communities it serves. As the City of Cleveland advances its Shore-to-Core-to-Shore initiative, Great Lakes is grateful to play a meaningful role in shaping the city’s evolving landscape.
From providing bulkhead infrastructure along the shores of Lake Erie, to maintaining the busiest GCRTA hub in the heart of downtown, to transforming the Cuyahoga Riverfront through the Bedrock Development, and soon beginning work on the Cleveland Metroparks Irishtown Bend Park, Great Lakes Construction is proud to help build Cleveland’s future.
Work continues to move forward across the corridor, with each project contributing to a more connected and accessible Cleveland.
