Cleveland --- Robert C. Klaiber, Jr., P.E., P.S., Cuyahoga County Engineer, announces the construction of W. 140^th Street from Lakewood Heights Blvd. to Triskett in the City of Cleveland. This construction will begin on Tuesday, August 19, 2003 and the entire project is scheduled for completion in October 2004. This project consists of pavement repairs, new curb, sidewalks, and aprons, resurfacing and landscape restoration, drainage and catch basin work and wearing course removal.

According to Bob Klaiber, southbound traffic will be maintained at all times from I-90 to Triskett. Northbound traffic, however, will be detoured. All traffic will be detoured east on Triskett to Berea Road to Lakewood Heights Blvd. Northbound Traffic is open for cars entering W. 140^th Street from I-90 Marginal. Cars should stay to the left. No left turns are allowed from the south lane. The south lane is for through traffic and right turn only. Cars traveling west off of the I-90 ramp and heading south on W. 140^th Street should keep right. The roadway is reduced to on lane in each direction on the western most lanes.

Throughout the course of this construction, driveway access will remain open. Additional notices will be delivered when work will be impacting access to driveway entrances.
