Repair Work Beginning On Parts Of I-90 Near Rockford

Illinois Tollway

The Illinois Tollway is beginning repairs on two segments of Interstate 90 in the Rockford area.  

The Spring Creek Road Bridge will undergo repair beginning April 3.  It begins with overnight lane closures, and will follow with a two-week full bridge closure on April 5. During this closure, posted detours will direct eastbound traffic to Bell School Road and direct westbound traffic to Lyford Road and then over I-90 via Rote Road.  

Meanwhile, Rockford’s East Riverside Boulevard Interchange will undergo pavement and shoulder repairs on all four ramps beginning April 3. Initially, the right shoulders and lanes on each ramp will close.  Once that work is complete, the left lane and shoulders will close temporarily.  Up to 11,650 vehicles use this interchange daily.
