"These restrictions are needed to complete work on a bridge structure," IDOT said. "IDOT District 8 Operations will make the needed improvements. Full access will be restored as soon as possible."

IDOT added that motorists should allow extra time for trips through the area.

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