I-475 work to slow traffic Tuesday morning

9/15/2009

Think twice before using westbound I-475 west of Secor Road during the morning rush Tuesday.

Beginning at 7:30 a.m., the left lane will be closed west of Talmadge Road for pavement cleaning along the median, the Ohio Department of Transportation announced Monday. The lane closing will extend west as far as U.S. 23 as work progresses.

The lane closing could cause significant backups during the morning rush if work starts on time.

ODOT expects to have all of the cleaning done before the evening rush.
