🚧 More I-90 Bridge Lane Shifts and Local Closures

The Gist: As part of ongoing I-90 bridge repairs, several local roads now have daily lane closures, including Anthony Rd, Harmony-Riley Rd, County Line Rd, and Powers Rd. Flaggers are directing one-lane traffic through August. Meanwhile, the ramp from East Riverside Blvd to eastbound I-90 has shifted right and will stay that way all summer.
