A major reconstruction and modernization of Cleveland's Innerbelt is underway on the central interchange area of Interstates 90 and 77 just south of Progressive Field, taking six years and $328 million to rebuild and modernize the highway and bridge network from Ontario Street to Carnegie Avenue. The traffic changes this week are for East 14th Street from the I-77 north exit ramp to Orange Avenue, following some short-term restrictions earlier this winter. The bigger work will include weekend weekend closings of I-90 - one direction at a time - for bridge demolitions. The work will also include reconstruction of the East 22nd Street bridge over I-89, the Carnegie Avenue Bridge over I.09. The goal of the project is to bring the area up to modern highway standards for improved traffic flow and safety.
