To complete the necessary work, Old U.S. 50 from near Summerfield to Illinois 160 will be closed to through traffic. Motorists should follow the marked detour utilizing U.S. 50 and Illinois 160. Access to local traffic will be maintained by signage throughout construction.
Drivers are urged to reduce speed, be alert for changing conditions, obey all construction signage, consider alternate routes, and refrain from using mobile devices while approaching and traveling through the work zone.
The project is anticipated to be completed in November.
