Drivers, note that next week brings new traffic disruptions as the Interstate 74/75 Mill Creek Expressway - Phase 5B project progresses. For those navigating the concrete veins of our city at night, expect lane closures that will surely test your love for late-night drives—or at least your patience.
Beginning Monday, May 12, the ramp from I-75 South to I-74 West will be shut down from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following Tuesday, as the Ohio Department of Transportation reported. Detours will reroute you via I-75 South and the Hopple Street exit. If that doesn't ruffle your feathers, the same night imposes a single-lane closure on I-75 South at the I-74 split, lasting from dusk till dawn, 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., as well as a single-lane constraint on I-74 West, stretching from the Elmore Street overpass to yonder pedestrian bridge.
Onward to Tuesday, May 13: I-74 West continues the dance with a single-lane closure. This time, the spotlight is on the stretch of pavement from the Elmore Street overpass to the Beekman Street overpass, keeping crews—and drivers—busy from 8 p.m. to the early hours of 6 a.m. But the fun doesn't stop there, folks. Wednesday through Friday beckon with ongoing surface work, pinching lanes on I-74 East and West, demanding your steering wheel skills from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
