How Traffic Will Be Affected

Crews will be reinforcing expansion joints, a project expected to take approximately three months. During that time, traffic will be reduced to a single lane across the bridge. The bridge will remain open, but drivers should expect slower travel.

According to IDOT, “Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips across the bridge. Drivers are urged to pay close attention and obey the posted speed limits.”
