Part Of I-77 North In Northeast Ohio Closing For Weekend

CLEVELAND — Part of I-77 north will be closed through the weekend, the Ohio Department of Transportation announced. The closures will be in place while crews do work on a bridge. Only limited local access to areas will be maintained.

According to ODOT, the closure of part of I-77 will begin at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 24. The highway will re-open at 5 a.m. on Monday, April 27.

However, starting Monday, I-77 north over I-490 will be reduced to one lane. The reduction will allow bridge work to continue. The squeezing of lanes will continue through at least early May, according to ODOT.
