IDOT to start overnight work in Edwardsville on Sunday

The Illinois Department of Transportation plans to have intermittent lane restrictions during overnight hours from Sunday evenings through Thursday evenings in downtown Edwardsville.

Work is planned from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. starting Sunday, weather permitting, along:

▪  Illinois 157 (West Street, St. Louis Street, West Vandalia Street and East Vandalia Street) between West Schwarz Street and Hillsboro Avenue

▪  Illinois 143 (East Vandalia Street and Marine Road) between Illinois 157 and Schwarz Road

▪  Illinois 159 (North Main Street) between Vandalia Street intersection and East College Avenue

Workers are set to repair the existing pavement and construct a new asphalt overlay along the roads, IDOT said. Work is expected to be completed by July.

“No Parking” signs are set to be posted along the routes and any vehicles parked in the area will be towed at the owner’s expense, IDOT said.
