If the weather cooperates, the 2-lane bridge will close at 9 p.m. Friday and reopen at 5 a.m. Monday.

The Illinois Department of Transportation used a full closure during the second phase of its I-255 rehab in Cahokia Heights and Sauget, which wrapped up this past weekend.

Initially, the Illinois Department of Transportation anticipated to finish the construction in Cahokia Heights and Sauget by the end of July.

The north and eastbound lanes of Interstate 55 and Interstate 70 between state Highways 157 and 159 will close Friday and are anticipated to reopen at the end of the month.

Approximately 15,000 vehicles travel across the Bayless Avenue Bridge in Lemay on a typical weekday. Its driving surface recently deteriorated to prompt the full closure.

The Illinois Department of Transportation expects the 3.5-mile section between Illinois 15 and Illinois 157 in Cahokia Heights and Sauget to be closed until July 31.

Crews will resurface 3.5 miles of the roadway, repair bridges, add new lighting and make signing and drainage improvements between Illinois 15 and Illinois 157 in St. Clair County.

After receiving upgrades costing $67 million, a stretch of Interstate 255 will reopen by Nov. 1.
