Lanes on Interstate 255 through Collinsville will be restricted through Thursday, July 28, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced.

IDOT District 8 operations crews will be doing emergency patching on the bridge carrying I-255 northbound over Horseshoe Lake Road.

Drivers can expect daily restrictions of the right two lanes and the northbound deceleration lane between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily.

The far-right lane and deceleration lane to Horseshoe Lake Road will be closed nightly while the exit ramp will remain open.
