IDOT: Work coming to two Morton bridges spanning I-155

Two bridges in Morton will have lane closures starting Aug. 19 through the end of November, according to a release from the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Construction projects on Queenwood Road and Broadway Road bridges over Interstate 155 in Morton will begin Monday, Aug. 19, says IDOT. The project involves replacing bridge joints and resurfacing the bridge decks.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area.

To avoid the work area, IDOT encouraged drivers to use alternate routes when feasible. IDOT urged travelers to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey posted speed limits and refrain from using mobile devices, and be alert for workers and equipment.
