Major ramp closure in Cleveland

Starting today, the Ohio Department of Transportation is preparing to close a ramp into downtown Cleveland, a major disruption for the rest of the summer and into the Fall.  The eastbound exit to E. 9th Street will close and its not scheduled to reopen until late October. An ODOT spokesperson says, the work is for the new ramp and a new bridge support pier.  ODOT is suggesting a detour of exiting onto Ontario, then a right on Carnegie to E. 9th Street.  The closure will have major impacts into downtown, as well as ballgame traffic for the Guardians, and any events at Rocket Arena.
