300 East Street over Interstate 80 near Sheffield remains closed

Repairs needed more than anticipated

The Illinois Department of Transportation announced Wednesday that lanes that have been closed for construction will reopen, where possible, but other closures will remain over the holiday weekend.

The structure closure on 300 East Street of the Interstate 80 overpass near Sheffield and Mineral has been extended until further notice.

Upon structural repair assessment, it was determined the level of repairs needed exceeds what was anticipated. This is resulting in a closure continuation until Illinois Department of Transportation has reevaluated and chosen the preferred path forward.
