Osborn Engineering is providing project management, stakeholder coordination, civil and stormwater engineering, and construction and risk management for this $55 million project that includes hillside slope stabilization, designing site regrading, drainage, and bulkhead installation at the historic Irishtown Bend in Cleveland, Ohio. A main goal of the project is to prevent a landslide into the Cuyahoga River that would hinder shipping lanes. The scope of work also includes repair of the Westerly low level interceptor in conjunction with NEORSD and roadway improvements. The project will ultimately make possible the construction of a 17-acre park along the Cuyahoga River that will connect Lake Erie to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and 101 miles of towpath trails. The project included coordination and incorporation of the infrastructure for a future park including trail development, stormwater management and maintenance access. Lastly, the project included the realignment and reconstruction of Franklin Avenue.

Stakeholders involved in the project include the City of Cleveland, Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority, ODOT, Cleveland Metroparks, NOACA, LAND Studio, Ohio City, Inc., West Creek Conservancy, and NEORSD. Comprising Osborn's team are 10 subconsultants to provide specialty services, one of which is MRCE, a nationally recognized geotechnical engineering firm out of New York City who will serve as the geotechnical engineer of record.
