🚧 Overnight Closure and Repairs on I-80 Westbound in Bureau County, Illinois

The local Illinois transportation authorities have announced an overnight closure of the westbound lanes on Interstate 80 for thoroughfare repairs. This shutdown will commence at 8 p.m. on May 8th and is scheduled to continue until 6 a.m. the following morning, May 9th. The affected segment stretches from the IL 40 interchange at exit 45 to the IL 78 interchange at exit 33. During this time, a detour will be in place redirecting the traffic via IL 40, U.S. 6, and IL 78.

The reopening of the westbound I-80 is timed for the early morning hours to minimize the impact on daily commuters.
