CLEVELAND -- For now, interstate 90 remains closed in both directions. However, crews expect the eastbound direction to open Sunday night. The westbound lanes are expected to open by 2 a.m. Monday.
The highway was closed following an accident where a dump truck with a raised trailer crashed into a pedestrian bridge above Interstate 90.
The accident happened on the I-90 westbound lanes between E. 156th Street and E. 185th Street around 6:45 a.m Saturday.
Police say a truck from Big Blue Trucking out of Warren, Ohio, was traveling with a raised trailer when it hit the bridge. After hitting the bridge, the truck then rolled over.
Unsafe conditions forced the Ohio Department of Transportation to bring in cranes to dismantle the pedestrian bridge that was damaged.
ODOT wants to have the highway fully open by 2 a.m. Monday.
"ODOT will not reopen I-90 until it is 100% safe for the traveling public to drive though this area." said Amanda Lee.
Westbound travelers must continue to take alternate routes.
Vehicles traveling westbound are asked to exit at E. 260th Street to Babbit Road, north to St. Clair Avenue and onto E. 152nd to access I-90.
Jennifer Ciaccia with the Cleveland Police Department tells Channel 3 the truck driver Michael Edwards, 35, will be cited for all appropriate traffic violations.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol will also be apart of the investigation. Troopers will inspect the truck for violations.
