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 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.
