The Ohio Department of Transportation has announced that the access point from McKinley Avenue to eastbound Interstate 90 in Lakewood, Ohio will be closed starting on Monday, March 29th. The closure is expected to last through early June as part of a larger $173 million reconstruction project on I-90 spanning from Rocky River to Cleveland's West Side. The suggested detour is for drivers to use South Marginal Road and Warren Road to access I-90 eastbound.
Why it matters
This closure is part of a multi-year, $173 million overhaul of a heavily trafficked 20-mile stretch of I-90 in western Cuyahoga County. The project aims to improve the aging highway infrastructure, but the extended closures and lane restrictions will cause significant disruptions for the 110,000 vehicles that use this section of I-90 daily.
The details
The McKinley Avenue entrance ramp to eastbound I-90 in Lakewood will be closed starting on Monday, March 29th. The closure is expected to last through early June as part of the larger reconstruction project on I-90. Drivers will be directed to use a detour route of South Marginal Road and Warren Road to access eastbound I-90 instead.
