The Central Viaduct, or "Innerbelt Bridge", is a vital link into downtown Cleveland.  In October 2008, ODOT engineers restricted traffic on the 50-year-old bridge after inspections revealed that a number of steel members were aging faster than expected.  As part of ODOT’s Innerbelt Bridge Safety Plan, after detailed analysis of the structure and subsequent repairs, ODOT reopened all lanes and ramps on the bridge in November 2009.  Heavy truck traffic in the eastbound direction only remains detoured via I-490 eastbound and I-77 northbound in order to increase traffic flow efficiencies.  Minor steel repairs will continue through the fall of 2010.  During the spring of 2009 ODOT announced plans to construct a new $450 million westbound Innerbelt Bridge, utilizing federal transportation stimulus funds made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
