The Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority and a procession of partners celebrated a milestone this week in their quest to shore up an unsteady hillside and protect the Cuyahoga River shipping channel.
On Friday, Aug. 25, the port held a groundbreaking for a $60 million project more than a decade in the making. Workers are mobilizing at the top of the Irishtown Bend slope, off West 25th Street in Ohio City, to dramatically reconfigure the hill and prevent a catastrophic collapse.
