Farmers Weekly Review

A detour will direct traffic to Raynor Avenue (U.S. 52), McDonough Street (U.S. 6/52) to cross the river and reconnect with Jefferson Street via Chicago Street (Illinois 53).

The evaluation of the necessary repairs is ongoing. A more definitive timeline for when the bridge can reopen will be announced later. ​

The public can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Alternative routes are encouraged. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.
