COLLINSVILLE – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today changes in lane restrictions will be encountered on southbound I-255, approximately 2 miles south of Collinsville, at milepost 22.0.

At 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, the right lane was closed. The right lane will remain closed until all lanes are re-opened at 7 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 17, 2018.

The previously planned work for the center lane in this same area will be rescheduled to a time which will be less impactful to traffic patterns in the Metro East, IDOT said. The ongoing lane restriction is needed to repair the concrete deck and driving surface of the bridge over Harding Ditch.
