Per their website, ODOT has announced that a good chunk of whats left of the old I-90 Innerbelt bridge in Cleveland will be blown up Saturday morning 7/12 at 6:00 am over the Cuyahoga River.

This will make way for the new eastbound span to be built in its place.  Currently, all Innerbelt traffic shares the new westbound span...

And here is the result...

They could've had LeBron James throw chalk in the air while the bridge was exploding behind him... That would've been awesome.

I spent a lot of time crossing that bridge. To be honest, it made me a little nervous, particularly when they closed the far right lane the last few years.
