MADISON COUNTY - The Illinois Department of Transportation today announced that US 40 will be reduced to one lane at Interstate 70, three miles north of Highland beginning Monday, January 30, 2017, weather permitting. Intermittent daylight lane closures will be utilized until temporary traffic signals are installed at this location. Once the temporary traffic signals are installed, US 40 will be reduced to one lane and two-way traffic will be maintained through this area via the temporary traffic signals. This work is required in order to replace the existing bridge joints and is expected to be completed by mid-summer of this year.
