Local construction closures continue

Some local lane closures will remain in place during this Memorial Day holiday weekend due to ongoing construction.

IDOT says the public can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through these areas. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limit, refrain from using mobile devices and stay alert for workers and equipment.

“At all times, please buckle and drive sober,” said a news release from IDOT.

U.S. 24 two miles west of Chenoa with lane reductions and traffic controlled by temporary signals.

Illinois Route 9 east of I-55/I-74 in Bloomington with lane reductions continuing.

Westbound I-74 ramp at I-55, exit 163 closed.
