Construction underway on I-39 Tomahawk Creek Bridge

 
OTTAWA – Construction is underway on the bridges carrying Interstate-39 over Tomahawk Creek in LaSalle County. The Illinois Department of Transportation says the work zone is three miles north of I-80. Work consists of concrete removal and replacement, expansion joint replacement, and a bridge deck overlay. One lane in each direction will be closed during the project, which is expected to be completed by later this fall. Motorists can expect delays, should allow for extra time for trips through the area, and should consider alternative routes.
