These restrictions are needed to do emergency bridge deck repair work. IDOT District 8 Operations crews will make the needed improvements and restore full access as soon as possible.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. 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.
