The exit ramp to East 9^th Street off of Interstate 90 East is set to close in Downtown Cleveland today, turning an already snarled construction scene into a greater frenzy. The ramp, which had previously been open despite construction taking place all around it, will be closed for approximately 2 months while undergoing repairs. Drivers will be forced to take alternate routes when exiting Interstate 90 east to access downtown Cleveland.

Repairs such as these cause stress for drivers around Cleveland and all of Northeast Ohio. They also lead to last second lane changes and drivers who are not only lost but frustrated by closed streets and ramps. When these situations happen, increases in traffic accidents are likely.
