Village of Peninsula cut off from civilization

No, that's not another April Fool's Day joke. With summer construction season in full swing, we seem to be surrounded by orange barrels and cones on all sides at the Century Cycles in Peninsula, so allow extra time when traveling to our store.

Work began today on the re-surfacing of State Route 303 between Interstate 271 and State Route 8. Expect lane restrictions and delays through the end of September.

Work continues on the State Route 303 bridge near Route 8 east of Peninsula. Traffic is maintained with an alternating one-way lane. The wait is not too bad during off-peak hours, but expect long waits during rush hour. Alternative routes to our store from State Route 8 are:

If you are coming from the north (e.g. Macedonia/Northfield):

  1. Take the exit for State Route 303/Hudson/Peninsula as usual.
  2. Get in the middle lane at the end of the exit ramp.
  3. At the traffic light, proceed STRAIGHT across State Route 303 onto Akron-Cleveland Road.
  4. At the next traffic light, turn RIGHT onto Kendall Park Road.
  5. Kendall Park Road becomes Truxell Road; at the end of Truxell Road, turn RIGHT onto Akron-Peninsula Road.
  6. At the traffic light in Peninsula, turn LEFT onto Main Street; we will be just ahead on the right.
If you are coming from the south (e.g. Stow/Cuyahoga Falls/Akron):


  1. Take the exit for State Route 303/Hudson/Peninsula as usual.
  2. At the end of exit ramp, turn LEFT onto State Route 303 as usual.
  3. Get into the left-most lane immediately, and turn LEFT onto Akron-Cleveland Road at the next traffic light.
  4. At the next traffic light, turn RIGHT onto Kendall Park Road.
  5. Kendall Park Road becomes Truxell Road; at the end of Truxell Road, turn RIGHT onto Akron-Peninsula Road.
  6. At the traffic light in Peninsula, turn LEFT onto Main Street; we will be just ahead on the right.
Work also continues on Interstate 271 near the State Route 303/Richfield/Peninsula interchange, with the exit for State Route 303 closed intermittently. Alternate Route to our store from I-271:

If you are coming from the north (e.g. Macedonia/Northfield):
  1. Take exit 10 for I-77 South.
  2. Take exit 143 for State Route 176/Richfield.
  3. Turn LEFT onto Wheatley Road.
  4. Proceed straight at the bottom of the hill as Wheatley Road becomes Everett Road.
  5. Turn LEFT onto Riverview Road.
  6. At the traffic light in Peninsula, turn RIGHT onto Main Street; we will be just ahead on the left.

If you are coming from the south (e.g. Medina):

  1. Take exit 9 for I-77 South/State Route 176/Richfield.
  2. Turn RIGHT onto Brecksville Road.
  3. Turn LEFT onto Wheatley Road.
  4. Proceed straight at the bottom of the hill as Wheatley Road becomes Everett Road.
  5. Turn LEFT onto Riverview Road.
  6. At the traffic light in Peninsula, turn RIGHT onto Main Street; we will be just ahead on the left.
