NORTH OLMSTED, OH — Should crews improve the I-480-Clague Road entrance ramp? The Ohio Department of Transportation wants your input to decide. The entrance ramp is located in North Olmsted and Fairview Park. ODOT is considering widening the eastbound ramp to provide "simultaneous left and right turns from Clague Road." Crews would also adjust the traffic signals at the ramp. ODOT is also considering adding a right-turn lane to the I-480 west exit ramp at West 130th Street. The project is currently slated for 2023 and is estimated to cost $495,000, ODOT added. A map of the proposed construction has been shared on the ODOT website. A detailed construction schedule will be released in spring 2023, but construction would necessitate lane closures during off-peak hours, ODOT said. Drivers and residents who want to provide input on the project should contact Thomas Sorge, environmental specialist at ODOT. Mail should be addressed to Sorge at 5500 Transportation Boulevard, Garfield Heights, 44125. He can also be contacted by phone at 216-584-2086, email [email protected] , or online at I-480 Ramp Improvements | Ohio Department of Transportation Comments can be submitted until March 16.
