"Full access will be restored as soon as possible," IDOT said. "At least one lane will be open in both directions at all times.

"Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area," IDOT continued. "To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices and be alert for workers and equipment."
