MOLINE, Ill. — One ramp at the I-74/280 interchange in Moline will be closed for a few hours for nearby repairs on Thursday.

According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, the ramp from westbound U.S. 6 to westbound I-280 will be closed, weather permitting, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 14.

The closure is due to needed slope wall repairs under the Rock River bridge.

The detour will send drivers to the John Deere Road interchange, where they will be directed to access westbound I-280 through eastbound I-74.

Motorists are asked to avoid the work area if possible and use alternate routes and expect delays and increased travel time through the area. 

They're also asked to use caution when driving near the work zone, including watching for signs and speed limits, staying alert for workers and equipment, and refraining from using mobile devices while driving.
