CLEVELAND — Crews will soon be adding a fourth lane to the I-480 west to SR 14 ramp, the Ohio Department of Transportation announced. The project will lead to temporary closures starting Wednesday.

Starting at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, SR 14 (Broadway Avenue) to I-480 west will be closed for ramp widening. It will remain closed through October 2022, ODOT said.

Drivers who usually utilize that route will be detoured to I-480 east to Warrensville Road to I-480 west back to SR 14.
