• Construction crews will begin off-peak lane restrictions on August 4 and shift traffic to outside shoulders before reducing eastbound lanes from four to three on August 8.
• Monday’s heavy rain caused flash flooding that trapped motorists in waist-deep water and highlighted the need for improved drainage.
• The I-90 stretch between West Boulevard in Cleveland and Hilliard Boulevard in Rocky River carries more than 140,000 vehicles daily and dates back to the 1960s and 1970s.
