The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that the ramp from westbound Interstate 74 to northbound I-57 will close Nov. 1.
The closure is necessary to build a new, temporary connection from westbound I-74 to northbound I-57 and is expected to last a week. Motorists wanting to access northbound I-57 from westbound I-74 will be directed to use southbound I-57 (exit 179A) to Curtis Road (exit 232) and then enter northbound I-57 from Curtis Road.
The following week, the ramp from southbound I-57 to westbound I-74 will be closed for approximately five days. A detour will direct motorists to the Curtis Road interchange, where they will enter northbound I-57 to access westbound I-74.
