GREENVILLE, IL – Motorists traveling through Bond County will face lane closures on Interstate 70 beginning Monday, November 3, as pavement patching work gets underway, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).
The project will reduce I-70 to one lane in each direction between the Madison County line and the Fayette County line. Weather permitting, crews will conduct pavement repairs expected to cause delays in both eastbound and westbound lanes throughout the week.
According to IDOT, drivers should prepare for slowed traffic and are encouraged to use alternate routes when possible. The department advises motorists to reduce speed, remain alert for changing conditions, and obey all posted construction signage while passing through the work zone.
The agency also reminds drivers to avoid mobile device use while traveling through construction areas to ensure worker and driver safety.
