Closed bridges will affect rush hour near CSU starting Monday

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Two bridges over I-90 will close starting Monday: the East 22nd Street Bridge and the Cedar Avenue Bridge as part of the massive Central Interchange Project.

Both bridges sit just south of Carnegie by CSU’s campus. The East 22nd Street Bridge will close from Central Avenue through Cedar Avenue to Carnegie. It will be reconstructed and reopen next year.

The Cedar Avenue Bridge will close over I-90, across East 22nd, and also to Carnegie. It will close permanently.

ODOT suggests drivers use East 22nd Street on the south side of I-90 and nearby routes like Carnegie to get around the closures

The closures are part of the I-90 Central Interchange Project, estimated to cost $ 328 million, replacing aging pavement and bridges originally built in the early 1960s.

The Central Interchange Project broke ground April 15 with major closures beginning in June. ODOT doesn’t expect to complete the project until the summer of 2032.
