The ramp is in the I-74 construction area by Champaign. A message board has been placed in the zone alerting drivers to the closure, which is set to begin on Monday.

IDOT said that the goal of the 30-day project is to connect the I-57 ramp to new pavement.

In the meantime, IDOT advises southbound travelers to use Market Street in Champaign, then travel north to reach I-57’s southbound exit.
