I-55 Mississippi River Bridge Closure for Weekend Repairs

Several significant traffic disruptions and construction projects are underway across multiple states. The Arkansas Department of Transportation announced a full closure of the I-55 Mississippi River Bridge for joint repair work from November 15 to 18, with detours via the I-40 bridge recommended. In Nebraska, multiple ramps on Interstate 180 will be closed overnight starting November 6 and 7 for pavement repairs, reopening by the following mornings without planned detours. New traffic patterns are in effect in Syracuse, New York, where the I-81 southbound off-ramp to Exit 29S to 481 South permanently closed on November 4 to improve traffic flow. Illinois drivers near Interstate 55 and Illinois 143 face lane restrictions and ramp closures due to pavement work from November 3 to 7, with detours and variable message signs guiding motorists. Additionally, a serious crash involving a pickup truck and a deer on I-74 in Green Township, Ohio, resulted in the driver being hospitalized after the vehicle rolled multiple times.
