Phase II State Route 2 Modernization & Lane Addition for Eastlake, Mentor, Willoughby… The Lost Nation Road southbound entrance ramp to SR 2 westbound is closed through late November 2010. The project has been re-prioritized in order to allow the ramp to reopen for the period between late November 2010 and late July/early August 2011. This ramp, along with the northbound Lost Nation Road ramp to SR 2 westbound will close again next summer when all SR 2 traffic is shifted onto the existing eastbound lanes. St. Clair Street is open to westbound traffic only. Motorists now have the option of taking Erie Street to Vine Street or traveling north on Erie Street to connect with Lost Nation northbound and SR 2 westbound. The SR 2 westbound exit ramp to SR 91 is closed through approximately September 3. Motorists may detour via Vine Street. The SR 91 entrance ramp to SR 2 eastbound is closed until approximately September 26. Motorists are detoured via Vine Street. On SR 91 at SR 2, one lane in each direction is closed through the 2010 construction season. On Vine Street at SR 2, one lane in each direction is closed through the 2010 construction season. Through late November, Lost Nation Rd. traffic will be maintained with one lane in each direction between Wood Rd. and Riverside Commons. Reeves Road remains closed at Lost Nation Rd. through the 2010 construction season. The detour is set utilizing Hurricane Drive. Reconstruction of SR 2 between SR 91 and Stevens Boulevard will continue. Occasional lane closures may be utilized during nonpeak times. The entire project rehabilitates SR 2 and adds a lane between SR 91 and Newell Creek/SR 306. Tentative completion date: October 2011.
