JEFFERSON COUNTY — IDOT says due to rain, the lane closure scheduled for eastbound I-64 at exit 80 in Mt. Vernon has been moved to today and will continue through Friday. Work was originally set to begin yesterday.

The lane closure is necessary so maintenance crews can begin repairing the structure carrying eastbound I-64 over Illinois 37. The entrance ramp from Illinois 37 to eastbound I-64 will be also be closed.

You should seek alternate routes while this work is underway.
