JEFFERSON COUNTY – Drivers who use Route A to access northbound Interstate 55 should be aware the ramp will close overnight Friday, January 9 for bridge construction.
Weather permitting, crews will close the ramp from Route A to northbound I-55 as well as the right lane of northbound I-55 Friday, January 9, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Saturday, January 10, to set girders for the I-55 bridge over Central Avenue.
