Interstate 271, Cuyahoga County PROJECT I.D.: 80418 LOCATION: Interstate 271 between the Summit County Line and Miles Road in the cities of Oakwood, Bedford, Bedford Heights and Warrensville Heights. START DATE: August 2016 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: June 2020 BID AMOUNT: $119,988,187 DESCRIPTION: Widen I-271 between the Summit County Line and Miles Road in the cities of Oakwood, Bedford, Bedford Heights and Warrensville Heights. IMPACT: Traffic will be maintained utilizing lane shifts. Occasional off-peak lane closures. Prime contractor, Kokosing is headed into the 2nd year of a 4 year project. Recently set a northbound contra-flow, that has caused a few problems and snarled morning and afternoon commutes. Love to hear what others think about the design and implementation of this project, especially regarding the traffic control. Stripe removal on the southbound left lane line left big gashes that are now in right in the wheel path and will swallow your tire. Northbound past the I-480/I-271 split has a weird lane shift going on.

So the City and County both keep saying they would like to see this bridge done by June 2016, but there is still no firm that is wiling to design/build the thing! I have a funny feeling about this project and by funny I mean skeptical.

Treat the cyclist as you would any other motorist. If a car was next to you and going straight, who has the right of way?
