Bridge work on Route 84 north of Savanna next week will slow traffic

SAVANNA – The northbound lane of state Route 84, 4 miles north of Savanna, will be reduced to one lane Monday through sometime Wednesday for bridge deck and joint repairs.

The southbound lane then will be closed the rest of Wednesday through Friday, until the project is finished, the Illinois Department of Transportation said in a news release.

Signals will control traffic. Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area, or avoid it when feasible.
