DIXON – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that weather permitting, maintenance on the U.S. 30 Mississippi River bridge (Gateway Bridge) in Whiteside County will begin Monday, June 24.
The work will close the bridge for three nights from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning. A marked detour will direct motorists to use U.S. 67 and Iowa/Illinois 136 during the project.
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.
