CIMPERMAN: We're asking for the bridge and the ramp to open immediately. We're asking for the Governor to intervene and take over this incredibly chaotic bureaucratic mess. And the third thing we're asking for is straight answers from ODOT. We still don't know about the safety of the bridge. We don't feel they're giving us the honest truth. And we feel they owe it to the taxpayers and the fact that we've been working on this thing for ten years, and we have had enough.
The closed on ramp leads to the inner belt bridge, where several lanes remain closed due to structural concerns.
