McKinley Avenue Bridge Work: One Lane of Traffic on the Marginals

LAKEWOOD, OHIO — With repairs on McKinley Bridge over Interstate 90 beginning Friday, July 22, one question remaining was whether South Marginal and North Marginal would be maintaining just one lane of traffic or more.

Lakewood City Engineer Mark Papke confirmed that the Marginals will have just one lane of traffic in each direction.

"On the Marginals, we're going to be maintaining one lane of traffic. That's because we're replacing the pavement in the intersection," Papke told Patch.

The bridge will be closed to all traffic during construction. Work is expected to be completed by Aug. 15.

Here are the other roads to be aware of once construction begins July 22:

• McKinley Ave.: Closed to thru traffic—local traffic will be permitted—from Riverside Dr. to Hilliard Rd. to the bridge
• McKinley Bridge: Closed to all traffic
• South Marginal: One lane of traffic will be maintained going east
• North Marginal: One lane of traffic will be maintained going west

“On behalf of the City of Lakewood, we thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation during the work,” City Engineer Mark Papke said in a press release.
