The Illinois Department of Transportation announced last week that both directions of Interstate 57 through Kankakee would close overnight, weather permitting, (Monday) and today (Tuesday) to accommodate construction of the north half of the Waldron Road-Maple Street bridge.  The freeway will be closed between the U.S. Route 45-52 interchange (exit 308) and the Illinois Route 50 interchange (exit 315).

I-57 will close at 8 p.m. each night and will reopen by 6 a.m. the following morning. A posted detour for I-57 will direct motorists to use U.S. Route 45-52 and Illinois Route 50 to connect back to I-57.
