ST. JOSEPH – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that rehabilitation of the
U.S. 150 bridge just west of St. Joseph begins April 17.
The project will reduce the bridge to one lane using a concrete barrier wall, with traffic
controlled by temporary signals, and is expected to be complete in about three months.
Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. To avoid the
work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered. Drivers are urged to pay
close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits,
refrain from using mobile devices and be alert for workers and equipment.
