IDOT announced Tuesday they will again close the Quincy Memorial Bridge to continue repairs, beginning Monday, March 14.

This time, the work will consist of improving the road surface, painting, structural steel repairs and other miscellaneous work.

While the bridge that takes U.S. 24 eastbound across the Mississippi River is closed, the normally westbound Bayview Bridge will be converted to two-way traffic, with a maximum 14 foot lane width.

The latest round of repairs is expected to last through mid-summer.

IDOT says motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips on the Bayview Bridge. When feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions, obey the posted speed limit, put away your mobile device and be alert for workers and equipment.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
