Bridge washing project set April 15-17
PEORIA – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that bridge washing at various locations in District 4 begins April 15.
The dates and locations are as follows:
- April 15: Illinois 18 over the Illinois River at Henry in Marshall County
- April 16: Illinois 17 over the Illinois River at Lacon in Marshall County
- April 17: John T. McNaughton Bridge (Illinois 9) over the Illinois River at Pekin in Tazewell County
The work will reduce the bridge at each location to one lane, with traffic controlled by flaggers, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
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.
