Cleveland's Dead Man's Curve not getting straightened soon

CLEVELAND — It’s a Cleveland landmark of sorts.
Dead Man’s Curve. 
The harrowing hairpin turn on I-90 near the lakefront that makes headlines in daily traffic reports.
But more than 60 years after the curve opened, its nickname reflects more urban legend than reality.
The Innerbelt Curve, as it is officially known, was designed and built in the 1950s. That’s when cars had V-8 engines and chrome bumpers -- and station wagons were growing in popularity.
The nearly 90-degree turn was inserted to leave room for the possible expansion of Burke Lakefront Airport, according to one account published in the newspaper. It opened with an original speed limit of 50-miles per hour. These are design specs that would never reach the pavement today.
