Today and Thursday crews will perform lane closures and intermittent complete closures of Route 615 under Route 2 in Mentor from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., in order to erect steel beams. Flaggers will assist.

It is part of ongoing work on the Route 2 bridge. Intermittent lane closures along Route 2 east and westbound are expected and will not impact rush-hour traffic, according to information released today by the Ohio Department of Transportation District 12.

Major work will resume this month on Route 2 between Route 306 and Route 44. Ramp closures will occur and details will be forthcoming.

The entire project rehabilitates Route 2, adds a lane between Route 306 and Route 44 and constructs noise barriers. Tentative completion date is Oct. 15, 2012.
