Will Ohio traffic be bad after the April 8 solar eclipse? Here's what ODOT wants drivers to know

Ohio is expecting a big increase in visitors who are coming to the sate to experience the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, with areas like Cleveland and Akron within the path of totality. But how bad will traffic actually be? “I kind of equate this to a fireworks show," explains Matt Bruning of ODOT. "Everybody kind of trickles in and then the grand finale goes off and everyone gets in their cars at the same time and leaves. This is totally different than any other event you could even conceive. The 2016 RNC was a big deal, but that was confined to Cleveland. We’ve had World Series, we’ve had All-Star games, we’ve had other big events – but they’ve been confined to a city. This is literally multiple counties – tens of thousands of square miles of people all doing the same thing at the same time and then wanting to leave that same thing at the same time. That’s where we’re really concerned about having the big traffic congestion. That’s what we’ve heard from other states that experienced 2017 totality, is that traffic will be much, much worse than before.” Full traffic details: https://www.wkyc.com/article/traffic/...
