WHITE COUNTY — IDOT has announced that there will be bridge construction on Illinois Route 141 just east of Illinois Route 1 near Omaha.

Starting Monday, weather permitting, IDOT will start construction to remove and replace the bridge carrying 141 over a tributary to Cane Creek just east of Route 1 that will require lane closures beginning at 7 am.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane and controlled by signals. Work is expected to last until next summer. Motorists should be aware of the 10’6” width restriction in place for the construction. You are also asked to reduce speed, be alert to equipment and use extreme caution through all work zones.

To avoid any delays, seek an alternate route. Emergency vehicles will be allowed through the work zone as quickly as possible.
