I-90 Lane Restrictions, Closures Could Impact Westlake Drivers

WESTLAKE, OH — Labor Day weekend took a long time to arrive, though Ohioans planning holiday weekend trips may need a bit more patience.

The Ohio Department of Transportation has plans to continue roadwork on all of the Buckeye State's major highways. For Cleveland's west side residents, we've compiled a list of the projects most likely to impact you this weekend.

Here's some of the roadwork that could impact your holiday weekend, according to ODOT:

• I-90 bridge reconstruction

I-90 eastbound and westbound at the structures over the railroad tracks, between French Creek Road and SR 611 (Colorado Avenue), will have lane closures. Traffic will be maintained with barrels and portable concrete barriers. Traffic will be maintained in 11 foot lanes eastbound and westbound. Speed limits will be established at 55 mph for areas with barrier wall and 50 mph for areas with barrels when workers are present. Estimated completion: July 2022

• I-480 resurfacing

I-480 eastbound and westbound, between the Ohio Turnpike (I-80) and Lorain Road, will have daily and nightly lane closures for a resurfacing project. Estimated completion: September 2021

• I-90 bridge repairs in Rocky River and Lakewood

There will be nightly lane restrictions through October as crews repair the bridge.

• U.S. Route 6 (Detroit-Superior) bridge

Crews are doing bridge repairs between W. 9th St. and W. 25th St. Work will close Merwin Avenue between Center St. and West St. bridge. Work should be completed on this project in October.

• I-90 bridge rehabilitation in Cleveland

Crews will rehabilitate and paint bridges on I-90 between E. 136th and E. 156th, E. 140th and E. 152nd on I-90 in Cleveland. Work should be finished in July 2022.

As part of that work, the E. 140th ramp to I-90 east will be closed through late September. Drivers will detour along S. Waterlood Road to I-90 east.

E. 152nd and E. 140th Street, under I-90, and connector roads between the streets, will have off-peak lane closures and restrictions.
