CLEVELAND (WJW) – If you travel along the I-480 Valley View Bridge, you will see restrictions over the weekend as crews prepare to open a new portion of the bridge.
Beginning Monday morning at 5 a.m., the westbound lanes of the new bridge are expected to open.
As crews prepare for that opening, there will be some temporary restrictions.
New impact details provided by the Ohio Department of Transporation:
- I-480 westbound between Transportation Blvd. and I-77 will have various lane restrictions beginning on Friday, June 2, at 7 p.m. through 5 a.m. Monday, June 5, for maintenance of traffic shift.
