IDOT said two-way traffic will be maintained using temporary traffic signals. This work is necessary to do repairs to the bridge over Mooney Creek and is expected to be completed by the end of November 2019.
"Motorists should allow extra time when traveling through this area," IDOT said. "Drivers are urged to reduce speed, be alert for changing conditions, obey all construction signage, and refrain from using mobile devices while approaching and traveling through the work zone."
The contractor on this project is Stutz Excavating, Inc of Alton, Illinois.
