Sen. Sue Rezin warns the citizens of Illinois regarding travel on the I55 Bridge over US 30.
In a Jun. 11 Facebook post, Rezin warned constituents about road work beginning today on I-55.
"For those who travel the I55 Bridge over US 30-- Please be advised," said Rezin.
The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that cleaning and painting of the bridge carrying Interstate 55 over U.S. 30, in Joliet, will begin, weather permitting, Monday, June 13.
Over the next six years, IDOT is planning to improve more than 3,535 miles of highway and nine million square feet of the 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.
One lane in each direction is expected to remain open during the work that is being done. The work should be completed in August.
