Repairs are needed for the removal and replacement of bridge expansion joints on the Champ Clark Bridge at Louisiana. The contractor will be working or have equipment on the bridge 24 hours a day for the duration of the project, which means the Champ Clark Bridge will be closed.

Crews will be working at various times day and night to expedite operations until the expansion joints have been installed. All lanes should be open by this Friday, weather permitting.

If you plan to be in that area keep in mind that traffic going into Illinois will be detoured over US 61 and 36 to the Mark Twain Memorial Bridge at Hannibal, US 61/24 to the Quincy Bayview Bridge at West Quincy or south to St. Louis. Lighted message signs will be placed on US 36 and 61 at Hannibal,US 61 and 54 near Bowling Green, and at Atlas, Illinois to let motorists know about the road closure.
