The I-480 Valley View bridge will be repaired in 2017, two years earlier than originally planned, Ginger Christ of The Plain Dealer reports. The Ohio Department of Transportation has planned a unique solution to deal with the traffic in this area, while working on the project:
To maintain the same volume of traffic on the bridges – the busiest in the state – ODOT will build a four-lane structure in the median and close one bridge at a time. The eastbound side will close first while its deck is repaired and the the westbound side. In the meantime, traffic will be rerouted onto the newly-constructed lanes in the median."
