IDOT resumes work on Interstates 74 and 280 April 6
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) announced that construction on Interstates 74 and 280 will resume on Monday, April 6, weather permitting. The work zone will be from the Henry County line to the Milan Beltway, including the ramps at the I-74 and U.S. 6 interchange.
The $11.5 million project will patch and resurface the road and the ramps. Construction on the eastbound lanes was completed in 2025 and this year’s work will focus on the westbound lanes. One lane of traffic will be closed to traffic during the project, which is expected to be completed in July.
Drivers are urged to pay attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zone areas, obey the posted speed limits, avoid using mobile devices and watch for workers and equipment. IDOT is planning to improve 7,107 lane miles of highway and 8.4 million square feet of bridge deck over the next six years as part of Rebuild Illinois, which is investing $33.2 billion into all modes of transportation.
