The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that U.S. 136 at the Center Street railroad crossing in McLean will close Sept. 8.
The closure is necessary for Union Pacific to replace its crossing and is expected to last three days. A detour utilizing interstates 55 and 155 will be posted.
Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices and be alert for workers and equipment.
