STEELEVILLE – The Illinois Department of Transportation today announced that lane closures will be in place near the intersection of Illinois 150 and Illinois 4, west of Steeleville in Randolph County beginning at 7 a.m. Wednesday, May 6, weather permitting.

The lane closures are necessary for pavement patching. Two-way traffic will be maintained using flaggers.

The work is expected to last three days.

Motorists should expect long delays and are encouraged to use alternate routes during this closure. Drivers are urged to reduce speed, be alert for changing conditions, obey all construction signage, and refrain from using mobile devices while approaching and traveling through the work zone.

Over the next six years, IDOT is planning to improve 7,107 lane miles of highway and 8.4 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 to 21,309 lane miles of highway, 815 bridges and 1,181 additional safety improvements.
