Councilman Joe Cimperman, Tremont West Development Corporation, North Shore AFL-CIO along with residents and businesses will gather in Tremont’s Lincoln Park to rally and speak out against the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)’s plan to delay the completion of the Innerbelt Bridge Project.

Construction on the new bridge for westbound traffic has begun, however ODOT recently announced the plans for the second eastbound bridge has been postponed. The Innerbelt Bridge is one of the most used traffic ways in Cleveland, making it a matter of public safety that will adversely impact Cleveland commuters, businesses and neighborhoods – especially in the Tremont area.

As a resident or business owner or employee of Northeast Ohio, we will not stand for the recently announced delay in the construction of the second Innerbelt Bridge.

The current Innerbelt Bridge is past its planned 50-year lifespan and has been noted as the State of Ohio’s number one infrastructure need.

A delay in the construction of the second Innerbelt Bridge will have detrimental effects o...n the Tremont neighborhood, suburbs and the City of Cleveland as a whole.

First, the safety of all commuters on the bridge will be compromised, as the existing bridge is past its prime. Also, all commuters will face delays in their daily trips and routes in and out of Tremont will be compromised. And lastly, the residents in the historic Tremont neighborhood, whose quality of life has already been negatively affected by the construction will have to continue to live amid construction and chaos for many more years.

The Tremont neighborhood had over $74 million dollars of investment in 2009-10 alone. There is nothing that puts investment at risk more than uncertainty.

We urge that ODOT and the state stop playing politics with the future of Northeast Ohio and finish what was started on the Innerbelt Bridge.

We urge you to complete the construction of both Innerbelt Bridges by 2016, as originally proposed to the public. The new Innerbelt Bridges are integral to the success of the City of Cleveland.
