I-474 bridge inspection set October 15

CREVE COEUR – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that a one-day inspection of the Shade-Lohmann Bridge, which carries Interstate 474 over the Illinois River, will take place Oct. 15.

The inspection will reduce the bridge to one lane in each direction between 8 a.m. and 3:30 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.
