CLEVELAND — When you think of the most expensive infrastructure projects in Northeast Ohio history, the recent construction of the two inner belt bridges might come to mind. But those two bridges, constructed between 2011 and 2018, are combined less than a third of the cost of another 25-year project, and unlike a bridge, highway or stadium, this is one few will ever see. It's called Project Clean Lake, and it involves the construction of seven large-scale storage tunnels ranging from two to five miles in length, up to 300 feet underground and up to 24 feet in diameter.
