Elyria Plans $29 Million Twin Bridge Parkway
Elyria moves to reshape its future with a $29 million twin bridge project begun in late January. The plan extends Second and Third streets to cross the B and O railroad, opening 1100 acres of industrial land to growth and potentially doubling local businesses and jobs. Community leaders say the undeveloped land could redefine western Elyria and position the city near a regional industrial hub.
