MARION, Ill. (KFVS) - A portion of Interstate 57 in Williamson County closed at 7 p.m. on Sunday, April 14 for bridge construction.

Both directions of I-57 were closed between Exit 45 and Exit 54 through 7 a.m. on Monday, April 15.

The northbound on-ramps at Old Illinois 13 and Illinois 13 remained open. A marked detour was in place to direct northbound and southbound traffic around the work zone between Exit 45 and Exit 54. The detour utilized Illinois 13 and Illinois 148 in both directions.
