I-55 Work Resumes near Farmersville

Work on the Interstate 55 Farmersville interchange has resumed. Last year,  the Illinois Department of Transportation started a 9.5-mile resurfacing project on Interstate 55 in Montgomery County.  The remaining work includes resurfacing the approaches to the bridge over I-55 and repainting. Lane closures using drums and spotters can be expected on both I-55 and County Highway 17 (Mine Street). A temporary closure of the I-55 southbound on-ramp may occur during weekdays. Officials said the project, when completed, will make the road more durable and provide a more comfortable ride for drivers. It also includes preserving and protecting the structure. The project is expected to be completed by mid-April. Drivers are told to expect delays and are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits, refrain from using cell phones and be alert for workers and equipment.
