The Illinois Department of Transportation is alerting motorists that Illinois 127, about 2 miles south of Illinois 161 in Washington County will be restricted to one lane of traffic beginning Monday, July 9, weather permitting.

Traffic in both directions will be maintained using temporary traffic signals. This work is required to complete deck patching and to place a new wearing surface on the existing structure. The work is expected to be completed by the end of October 2018.

IDOT advises motorists to follow all construction signs and to drive with caution through the work zones. Delays should be expected and the use of alternate routes is encouraged.
