Commuters, look for lane closure on Interstate 64 in St. Clair County

The left lane of the Interstate 64 bridge over Illinois 3 in downtown East St. Louis will be closed beginning at 8:30 a.m. Monday for roadwork.

The lane closure over Illinois 3, which is also known as St. Clair Avenue, is expected to last until May 26.

“This closure is required to allow for the repair and replacement of a damaged bridge beam on the westbound Interstate 64 bridge structure at this location,” the Illinois Department of Transportation said in a news release.

Crews will also close the exit ramp from southbound Interstate 55 to northbound Illinois 3.

“Please plan ahead, expect delays, obey all signage and consider an alternate route for your specific trip,” the agency said in a tweet.
