CLEVELAND (AP) — Highway officials in Ohio are shifting
about $67 million left over from a Cleveland construction project to
widening a stretch of Interstate 75 south of Toledo.
The Ohio
Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission voted Monday to shift some of the
money it had approved for construction of the Inner Belt Bridge over
the Cuyahoga River in downtown Cleveland to the I-75 project in Hancock
and Wood counties.
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer
(http://bit.ly/OOV7IW) reports that the Ohio Department of
Transportation plans to widen a crash-prone, 25-mile section of I-75
from two lanes to three lanes in each direction.
Construction of that stretch is expected to cost $68.3 million more than the $366.5 million that was
originally estimated.
