Overnight lane closures coming to 270 in Glen Carbon

Starting May 21 and running to May 25, I-270 between Illinois routes 157 and 159 will be reduced to one lane in each direction during nighttime hours only.

GLEN CARBON, Ill. – The Illinois Department of Transportation is giving a heads up about upcoming closures on Interstate 270 overnight next week.

Starting May 21 and running to May 25, I-270 between Illinois routes 157 and 159 will be reduced to one lane in each direction during nighttime hours only. The closures will be in place so workers can install sensors in the pavement.

IDOT said all drivers should reduce their speed and obey all traffic signs while in the construction area.

The sensors will help IDOT more accurately understand the weights of trucks using the roadway and help develop better bridges and roads.
