The work began during the week of June 11, 2026, according to an official Highland Heights construction notice. The project affects a roadway used by Highland Heights residents and commuters, who should expect construction activity and possible lane restrictions or travel delays while the work continues.

What the cities have announced

The cities have identified the project as resurfacing of Ridgebury Boulevard. The official notice does not describe the work as a reconstruction or widening project. It says the joint project was scheduled to begin the week of June 11 and continue through August.

That schedule provides a month-level target rather than a specific completion day. The available notice does not give an exact daily schedule for closures, lane controls or other traffic changes. It also does not confirm that Ridgebury Boulevard will be fully closed.

For people traveling through the area, the practical effect is that conditions may vary as construction proceeds. Residents and commuters should be prepared for work activity and possible delays, while recognizing that the official information available does not specify when particular lanes will be restricted.

Project remains listed in July

The City of Highland Heights’ July 2026 website continued to list the Ridgebury Boulevard project as an active construction update. That provides the latest indication in the approved city information that the work remained part of the city’s ongoing construction activity during July.

Highland Heights is the local community directly identified in the notice, while Mayfield Heights is participating in the joint resurfacing. The official Highland Heights website identifies the city at 5827 Highland Road in Highland Heights, Ohio, and specifically names the Ridgebury Boulevard work with Mayfield Heights.

August is the next scheduled milestone

The next known project milestone is the scheduled end of the work period in August 2026. The cities have not published a more precise completion deadline in the available notice. The final date may change because of weather or construction conditions.

Until the cities provide a more detailed traffic-control notice or a revised schedule, travelers should treat the August date as the current project target rather than a guaranteed final completion day.

The City is also hosting a public meeting so residents can ask questions about the scope and neighborhood construction impacts.

Public meeting details: Thursday, July 16, 2026

When: Thursday, July 16, 2026 at 6 p.m.
Where: South District Police Station, 1030 Southwest Green Oaks Boulevard, Arlington, Texas 76017

The City says the meeting will include a short presentation followed by a question-and-answer session. The purpose is to provide information and answer questions about how the work will be constructed and how it will benefit the neighborhood and the Arlington community.

What the project covers

According to the City’s notice, the improvements include:

• Ditch maintenance along all streets to reduce the need for frequent maintenance
• Ditch grading and limited driveway culvert replacement to help ditches flow more efficiently
• Waterline replacement on Bell Street
• Waterline/sanitary sewer replacement and some sidewalk replacement on Waterview Drive
• Pavement replacement on Chaperito Trail

The City says the project is focused on reducing frequent City maintenance and significant standing water in roadside ditches within the project limits.

Streets named in the City notice

The City lists these streets as part of the project area:

• Dan Gould Drive
• Wood Lane
• Bell Street
• Waterview Drive
• Chaperito Trail
• Jewell Drive

Timeline: July 2026 start, estimated September 2027 completion

The City says construction is expected to begin in July 2026 and is estimated to be completed in September 2027. Residents should expect sequencing and day-to-day impacts to vary by street and project phase.

What residents may want to ask at the meeting

If you live, work, or drive near the streets listed above, the City suggests the meeting is a chance to get specifics and ask questions. Helpful topics to raise include:

• Where and how ditch/culvert work may affect driveways and roadside access
• How waterline and sanitary sewer work on Bell Street and Waterview Drive will be coordinated with sidewalk and roadway work
• What pavement/road work on Chaperito Trail may mean for neighborhood access
• Any practical timing expectations you can plan around for your block

Why this kind of drainage work matters locally

The City says yard waste, litter, and debris dumped into streets, inlets, storm drains, or creeks can contribute to flooding. Drainage upgrades and maintenance are meant to support the long-term performance of Arlington’s stormwater infrastructure—so residents can see fewer problems like standing water in roadside ditches.

For the most street-specific answers, the July 16 informational meeting is the City’s designated Q&A venue.
