OLMSTED FALLS, Ohio (WJW) — All lanes have reopened Friday afternoon on the Ohio Turnpike in Cuyahoga County.

Umbrella for Christmas… Snow for New Year’s?

The westbound right and center lanes of the Rocky River Bridge on the Ohio Turnpike at milepost 157.4 in Olmsted Falls were closed “for emergency bridge deck repairs,” according to turnpike officials.

According to Turnpike officials as of 3:30 p.m. Friday, these repairs are complete.

Turnpike officials recommended this alternate route:

Westbound traffic traveling through this area should consider exiting at Toll Plaza 161 (Strongsville), taking I-71 north to I-480 westbound and re-entering the Ohio Turnpike at Toll Plaza 151 (North Ridgeville) or Toll Plaza 152 (North Olmsted).

Ohio rejected 777 license plates in 2023

The closure was expected to last until about 4 p.m. Friday but has since reopened.
