The Cleveland Memorial Shoreway is a fantastic road that runs almost right along Lake Erie through downtown and northeastern Cleveland. It\u00a0is signed, portionally, as Ohio 2 and I-90. The city of Cleveland has drafted and approved a plan to tear down a long elevated section of the freeway to turn into an at-grade urban boulevard – all in the name of urban renewal. Luckily, AARoads has it well photographed now. Here are some photos and, as always, click each photo for a larger version.<\/p>\n

The shoreway runs over the Cuyahoga River on a surprisingly new viaduct. The road is literally within spitting distance of downtown buildings on either side.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

The elevated portion of the shoreway through downtown is signed as Ohio 2, and is between two and three lanes.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

The road offers some\u00a0great views of the Cleveland skyline, showing especially how the city was built as a strategic location on a bluff overlooking both river and lake. With the planned demolition of this road, these views will be lost.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

The previous views looked eastbound, the following two are headed westbound. I-90 is a large and very busy expressway into downtown Cleveland. To the east the driver can see great views of Lake Erie.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/a>

As it splits with Ohio 2, which runs straight ahead, I-90 has a very sharp curve – known locally as dead man’s curve. The road features lit warning signs and rumble strips, but even those don’t seem to help 100% of the time. As America’s longest interstate makes a sharp urban curve, the area directly ahead is littered with bumpers and skid marks!<\/p><\/div>\n

Eventually, we’ll manage to get all of the downtown Cleveland photos up. Next on the Ohio photography agenda, I-490!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
