Livingston County, IL – Northbound drivers on Interstate 390 are facing significant delays this morning as a full closure went into effect between Exit 8 and Exit 9. The shutdown was announced shortly after local authorities responded to a disabled tractor-trailer blocking the roadway.
According to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, the closure will remain in place until further notice while emergency personnel work to remove the disabled vehicle and clear the scene. Drivers traveling through the area should expect extended travel times and prepare to reroute.
I-390 serves as a key connector for commuters and commercial drivers moving across Livingston County and central Illinois, making the shutdown a notable disruption during the morning travel window. As of Wednesday morning, no estimated reopening time has been provided.
Authorities are urging motorists to avoid the stretch of interstate if possible and to use caution when approaching the closure points. Additional updates are expected as crews continue clearing operations.
Residents or drivers in the area who witnessed the incident or experienced delays are encouraged to share their observations.
