The city closed the road between Valley Parkway and Handle Road on May 10, 2011 after officials noticed the pavement was crumbling down a hillside.
The fix took 41 pylons placed in 30-foot holes to shore up the embankment and cost about $655,000.

That translates to $1,069 per linear foot, Perciak said. Compare that to the $59 per foot it cost to repair Shurmer Road or the $203 a foot for Sunset Road, the mayor said.
"I think we should put a sign up: The most expensive piece of road in Strongsville, Ohio," Perciak joked.
