I-57/74 Interchange Project Big Picture View
Setting the beams for the 2 flyover bridges, which is tentatively scheduled for the summer of 2023, will result in full interstate and ramp closures at night only. The interchange reconstruction project is progressing on schedule.
The I-74 bridges over Market Street and the Canadian National Railroad are progressing on schedule. Traffic will be switched back to the normal configuration (crossover removed) within the next few weeks. This year’s work will be completed by November 24th weather permitting.
Work on University Avenue required to meet the completion date was completed by November 1st. Minor work including seeding, sodding and clean up will be completed by mid-November weather permitting.
