Construction lanes close roads causing heavy traffic delays, Wickliffe OH
TrafficMajor road construction has closed lanes and caused one-way traffic from the 90 ramps to 300, including Rockefeller Road. This has created significant traffic congestion and long delays, with many parents upset about difficulties picking up their children from Rockefeller. Construction workers are modifying the traffic flow to improve movement by alternating directions on Rockefeller Road.
