PEORIA, Ill – Watch for traffic delays on the Murray Baker Bridge, I-74, during the next two weeks.
Message boards have been warning of “heavy delays” beginning Monday. It’s because work on expansion joints on the bridge carrying I-74 traffic across the Illinois River will result in lane closures in both directions.
The lane closures will be in effect from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. each day.
Center Street under the Cedar Street Bridge extension will be closed for the next six weeks due to painting of the overpass. Additionally, Edmund Street under Cedar Street will reopen as overpass painting wraps up.
