The Illinois Department of Transportation is planning on closing the flyover bridge on Business 24 (McClugage Road) starting the first weekend in April. On Monday, March 17th, 2008 Illinois Department of Transportation sources advised City of Washington officials that tentatively April 3rd, through April 7, 2008 the flyover bridge on Business 24 (McClugage Road) for work.

The same detour used last fall will be setup directing traffic to use Route 8 to North Cummings Lane to get to Westbound U.S. Route 24. The closure is tentative because the work on the bridge is sensitive to both a temperature and rain.

As you know, early April is very unpredictable and may be hard to schedule. Additionally, I.D.O.T. will continue other minor construction activities in the area over the next 2 months. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to the Washington Police Department.
