I-80 bridge

Repairs near the north end of the bridge will require crews to close lanes of the Interstate 80 Bridge over the Mississippi River in late March and early April 2015.

Construction work closed Iowa-bound lanes Friday, March 27, 2015.  The lanes were scheduled to remain closed until March 31, but they reopened two days ahead of schedule.

As part of that same project, the eastbound (Illinois-bound) lanes of the bridge will be closed from 8 p.m. Friday, April 10 until early  Tuesday morning, April 14 according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.

The lane closures are necessary so crews can remove and replace expansion joints, which span all lanes, near the north end of the bridge.

Interstate 80 traffic will be detoured to Interstate 280 during the lane closures, the statement said.
