Hilliard Boulevard is closed to traffic in both directions between King James Parkway and Westhill Boulevard due to a dangerous tree. A contractor is scheduled to remove the tree on Saturday, September 19, 2026, and the road will reopen as soon as removal is complete and the roadway is safe.

Suggested detours while the closure is in place:

-Westbound traffic: Use Westhill Boulevard to Detroit Road.

-Eastbound traffic: Use Columbia Road to Detroit Road or Center Ridge Road.

Motorists are asked to avoid the area and use caution when traveling near the work zone. The City will post an update when Hilliard Boulevard has reopened.

🚧 Construction Update: Settlers Rubbish & Recycling Delayed 🚧

Due to construction, rubbish and recycling collection in the Settlers neighborhood will be delayed until tomorrow morning, Thursday, September 17.

Either leave your carts out tonight or be sure to have them out by 6:00 AM tomorrow.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

The City of Westlake will have Pavement Tech on-site Wednesday, September 16, 2026, to install reclamite on Crocker Road.

Motorists traveling through the work area should expect temporary traffic delays while crews are working. The process is a quick one, and delays should be brief — but please plan a few extra minutes if your route takes you down Crocker Road that day. Flaggers may be present to help direct traffic through the work zone.

We thank you for your patience as we keep Westlake's roads in great shape.

Congratulations to Retired Navy Veteran Melissa Bach and her husband, Retired U.S. Coast Guard Veteran Jim Bach, on being selected as one of the top three winners of our Patriotic House Decorating Contest!

Melissa and Jim received a $100 gift card to Stonehouse Grill!
