Rail crossing at Andalusia Road in Milan to close March 19

MILAN - The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that Andalusia Road in Milan will be closed at the Iowa Interstate Railroad beginning Thursday, March 19. The crossing is located just west of U.S. 67.

The closure will allow the railroad to repair the crossing. Traffic should follow the posted detour during the project, which is expected to last for approximately two days.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area and be prepared for slow and stopped traffic. To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices, and be alert for workers and equipment.
