That means more congestion and longer travel times for anyone using this busy stretch. If you drive this route daily, now’s the time to rethink your routine or explore alternate roads. How do you think this will impact your daily life or local businesses? Let’s talk about how everyone’s planning to adapt! #Transportation #Lakewood #ClevelandTraffic00Share
Anne Clark+FollowMorning chaos on I-480: Commute upendedMonday morning drivers on I-480 in Cleveland faced a major disruption when a three-car crash—including one vehicle flipping over—completely blocked the westbound lanes near Warrensville Road.

Peter Castillo+FollowCleveland’s Dead Man’s Curve may get a SmartLaneImagine cruising through Dead Man’s Curve on I-90 and seeing the left shoulder open up as a bonus lane during rush hour. That’s what ODOT is considering with a new SmartLane—something only Columbus and Cincinnati have right now. Instead of building new lanes, they’d let drivers use the shoulder when traffic jams up, but everyone would have to slow down. It’s not funded or approved yet, but if it happens, it could totally change how we deal with downtown Cleveland’s worst bottleneck. Would you feel safer or more stressed with this setup? #Transportation #ClevelandTraffic #SmartLane00Share
