St. Clair County, Illinois – Two eastbound lanes of Interstate 64 are closed between 15th and 25th streets for roadway and bridge deck repairs, triggering potential traffic congestion through the area.
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, the right two lanes of eastbound I-64 are shut down as crews complete maintenance work on the roadway and bridge deck. The agency said all lanes are expected to reopen by noon Monday, Feb. 23.
Drivers traveling through the corridor should anticipate delays, particularly during peak commute hours. IDOT advised motorists to plan for extra travel time and to use caution while passing through the work zone.
The construction zone spans a heavily traveled section of I-64 in St. Clair County, connecting residential areas with commercial and employment centers. Reduced lane capacity may create bottlenecks during morning and afternoon rush periods.
No full closure has been announced, but traffic flow will be limited to fewer open lanes until repairs are completed.
Commuters, delivery drivers and students traveling this route may want to consider alternate routes during high-traffic periods.
IDOT has not indicated whether weather conditions could affect the reopening timeline but stated the current target for full restoration of traffic remains noon Monday.
Motorists are reminded to slow down, remain alert for workers and equipment, and follow posted signage while traveling through the construction zone.
