Route 8

Ohio on Sunday reported just 268 COVID-19 cases, the lowest single-day total since March of last year; the mass vaccination clinic at Cleveland State University’s Wolstein Center will administer its final doses today; the State Route 8 construction project moves into a new phase today in northern Summit County; and more stories.

Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley says she will try to unseat Republican Gov. Mike DeWine after her effort to work with him on gun reforms in the aftermath of a mass shooting in her city stalled; politicians, religious leaders and community activists in Ohio's capital city are calling for protests to remain peaceful as a verdict nears in the trial in the death of George Floyd; Republican Ohio Congressman Steve Stivers says he'll leave Congress on May 16 to run his home state’s chamber of commerce; and more stories.

The multiyear project includes road resurfacing, more lanes and reworking of ramps to improve safety.

Ramp closures and lane shifts accompany the project.

Cleanup of the Cuyahoga River is ongoing in Summit County after a crash on Route 8 sparked a fire Tuesday. Fuel spilled from a gas tanker during the crash traveled through a combined sewer overflow, caught fire, and briefly traveled into the river, according to Summit Metro Parks Marketing and Public Relations Manager Lindsay Smith. The fire was extinguished quickly, Smith said, but cleanup and monitoring will continue through the rest of this week. Containment booms are being used to prevent spread of any fuel in the river.
