A contractor for the Illinois Department of Transportation plans to restrict traffic to one lane on the bridge between Metropolis and Paducah starting Monday, and will continue on various sections of the bridge through late May.
The initial work zone lane restriction will be for eastbound traffic only. The work zone is to facilitate installation of new bearings on the bridge structure.
The contractor will also close the entire bridge early this Tuesday morning between 5-6am. The closure will last about 10 minutes.
