Epic traffic jams expected for Cavs victory parade, officials ask fans to take mass transit

We waited 52 years for this parade and if you don’t plan ahead it might take you that long to make the trek from Akron to Cleveland.

A typical commute from downtown Akron to the Quicken Loans Arena should take around 42 minutes, but the Ohio Department of Transportation warns Wednesday will be far from your typical commute.

When fans converged on the Hopkins International Airport on Monday to greet the Cavs as they landed with the Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy and Akron’s MVP LeBron James, roads and interstates in and around the airport became gridlocked.
