Madison County, IL – Lane closures will restrict westbound I-270 traffic in Madison County Monday morning for guardrail repairs.
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, starting at 9 a.m. Monday, Feb. 16, two westbound lanes of Interstate 270 will be closed between Illinois Route 255 and Illinois Route 111 near the I-270/Illinois 111 interchange.
Officials said one lane will remain open to traffic during the repairs. The work is expected to be completed within one day, weather permitting.
IDOT stated the guardrail repairs are part of ongoing improvements following the recent interchange reconstruction in the area. The agency did not indicate any full closures but advised drivers to anticipate slower travel and possible congestion through the work zone.
Motorists traveling westbound on I-270 Monday morning and afternoon should plan for reduced speeds and allow extra travel time. Commuters heading toward job sites, delivery routes, or school pickups may experience brief delays during peak travel periods.
No detours have been announced. Drivers are urged to use caution, obey posted signage, and watch for construction crews in the area.
Additional project details are available through the Illinois Department of Transportation.
