Madison County, IL – Drivers along Interstate 270 should plan for delays this weekend as lane closures begin Friday night for pavement striping work.
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), starting at 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7, the eastbound lanes of I-270 between Illinois 203 and Illinois 111 will be reduced for maintenance. Crews will be completing pavement striping, and traffic is expected to remain restricted throughout the weekend.
The department said the work is scheduled to wrap up by midnight Sunday, Nov. 9, weather permitting. Drivers should use caution and allow extra travel time, as congestion and reduced speeds are expected near the work zone.
Motorists are also reminded to follow posted detours and watch for workers and equipment in the area. IDOT encourages travelers to check real-time conditions before heading out using the agency’s traveler information map or local traffic apps.
