I-74 bridge work begins Sept. 8

Vermilion County structure damaged by oversize load

FITHIAN – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that County Road 100 East over Interstate 74, just west of Fithian in Vermilion County, will close Sept. 8.

The closure is necessary to repair bridge beams damaged by an oversized load and is expected to last approximately three weeks.

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.

Over the next six years, IDOT is planning to improve more than 3,200 miles of highway and nearly 9 million square feet of bridge deck as part of Rebuild Illinois, which is investing $33.2 billion into all modes of transportation. Accomplishments through Year Six of Rebuild Illinois include almost $20.8 billion of improvements statewide on 7,897 miles of highway, 815 bridges and 1,181 additional safety improvements.
