The Illinois Department of Transportation announced the replacement of the bridge decks on the overpasses at Virden Avenue and North 33rd Avenue over Interstate 55 in Montgomery County. Closure of the bridges will be necessary while the improvements are being made. Work begins Tuesday, April 1.
In addition to the bridge closures, nighttime lane closures on I-55 will be necessary. Other improvements include new concrete at the bridge approaches and new guardrails. Benefits from this project include providing a smoother driving surface and additional road durability. The improvements are expected to be completed at the end of October.
