Lane closures on US 24/US 150 begin July 19 for patching, maintenance
EAST PEORIA - The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that lane closures will begin on July 19, weather permitting, on U.S. 24/U.S. 150 between the Illinois River and Hollands Grove Road and the ramps at the interchange with Illinois 116 for partial depth patching. The work, which is part of regular maintenance, is expected to last for approximately three weeks.
Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered. 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.
Over the next six years, IDOT is planning to improve more than 3,500 miles of highway and 9 million square feet of bridge deck as part of the Rebuild Illinois capital program, which is investing $33.2 billion into all modes of transportation. Accomplishments through Year Two included approximately $5.2 billion of improvements statewide on 3,020 miles of highway, 270 bridges and 428 additional safety improvements.
