The ramp closure is needed to repair damaged bridge beams. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes to SIUE during this time period. Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area.

"To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered," IDOT said. "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."
