I-90 Construction Projects Could Impact Avon, Avon Lake Drivers

AVON, OH — Parts of I-90 will undergo lane closures starting Monday to clear the way for a resurfacing project. The project will occur in three Lorain County cities: Avon, Elyria and Sheffield Village.

The resurfacing project will start Monday and will continue into October. The county said nightly lane closures will occur, though traffic will be maintained.

The Ohio Department of Transportation said it is also working on a bridge replacement along I-90 in Lorain County, over the SR 2 split. During the construction, I-90 west will be reduced to one lane of traffic. SR 2 east will be maintained with two lanes of traffic. The I-90/SR 2 west ramp to the Ohio Turnpike will be closed Thursday and Friday from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. for structural repairs.

ODOT said it is also planning nightly lane closures for maintenance on I-90 between Murry Ridge Road and SR 611. Lane closures will occur from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Finally, I-90, at the SR 83 ext ramps and Chester Road, will experience intermittent lane closures for installation of new traffic signals and highway lighting.

"Crews are working on sidewalk installations, final striping and miscellaneous punch list items. Traffic will be maintained by flaggers. SR 83 exit ramps and I-90 traffic will be maintained at all times. The project is expected to be complete September 2019," ODOT said in a weekly construction update.
