I-55 Project In Burr Ridge Behind Schedule: Village
The state had originally expected the work to be done in mid-June.

BURR RIDGE, IL – The state's project to improve the Interstate 55 bridge over Burr Ridge's Madison Street is falling behind, the village announced Monday.
It started in early May and was expected to be completed in mid-June. Now, the southbound lane of Madison Street is set to be closed through the end of July because of the project, the village said.
Northbound Madison will always remain open during the project, the village said. A detour for southbound Madison remains in place along Route 83, or Kingery Highway, and South Frontage Road.

The local bridge is considered one of the worst-rated in the state's highway system, according to a village news release in May.
The Interstate 55 bridge over Madison Street was built in 1959 and carries more than 142,000 vehicles a day, the village said.
