TROY – The Illinois Department of Transportation today announced that US Route 40 from just east of Bethany Lane to just east of the IL 4 ramp in Madison County will be intermittently restricted to one lane between the nighttime hours of 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM beginning Tuesday, October 16, 2018, weather permitting. Two-way traffic will be maintained using flaggers. This work is required to make pavement repairs and should take approximately three nights to complete, weather permitting.
On October 19, 2018, the same portion of US 40 will be intermittently restricted to one lane between the hours of 8:00 AM and 2:15 PM, Monday through Friday, and during daylight hours on Saturday, weather permitting.
