South Old Orchard Road (south of U.S. Hwy. 61) near the diverging diamond interchange at I-55 will be closed Thursday night, April 29, so a signal pole can be moved.

Weather permitting, Old Orchard Road will be closed south of Route 61 for the relocation of a signal pole. Work will take place Thursday, April 29 from 8:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Previously planned overnight closures of Route 61 for interstate bridge work have been completed.
