Cleveland West Pier Repair
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be completing $6.9 million in repairs to the Cleveland West Pier, currently connecting Wendy Park in the Lakefront Reservation to the Historic U.S. Coast Guard Station. Repairs to the West Pier ensure Cleveland Harbor’s viability and contributions to the local and national transportation sector and protect the future of some of the area’s best waterfront recreation opportunities.
Repairs will encase 1,320 feet of the 1,430-foot pier with a new concrete overlay, held in place with steel sheet pile. Work will begin on the lakeward end of the pier and proceed inward to the harbor. Construction began on August 5, 2024 and is expected to conclude by August 2025.
The entire pier, the Historic U.S. Coast Guard Station, and a portion of the east end of Wendy Park will be closed during construction. Work will be conducted from barges along the Cuyahoga River channel, and should not obstruct commercial and recreational marine traffic, but vessels should proceed with excess caution when navigating near the pier.
"The Station" sailing center at the Historic U.S. Coast Guard station, operated by the Foundry, has temporarily moved operations to North Gordon Park during construction. The Station will return to its original location once construction is complete.
