CARTERVILLE – IDOT says traffic patterns will change starting Monday on Illinois 13 between Spillway Road and Greenbriar Road near Carterville.
Traffic will be down to one lane in each direction with head-to-head traffic separated by concrete barriers. The changes are necessary to accommodate construction of new westbound lanes and replacement bridges over the Crab Orchard Lake causeway.
Additionally, Cambria Road and Shawnee Trail will be closed at their intersections with Illinois 13 for the duration of this phase.
Beginning Sept. 2, boat access to the Cambria Neck north of Illinois 13 from Crab Orchard Lake will be closed, along with pedestrian access to the causeway, including areas commonly used for fishing. These closures are required for safety and construction staging.
This phase of the project is expected to continue through September 2026.
You can expect delays, so take other routes.
