COLLINSVILLE, (KMOX) - Metro East drivers, find your alternate routes now because I-255 is closing completely for major construction, first for the stretch between 55/70 and 64, that starts this Saturday.
The overall project consists of rehabilitating and resurfacing approximately 7 miles of I-255 from Collinsville Road to Illinois 15 in two sections separated by I-64, with significant bridge repairs, safety improvements and drainage upgrades. Once the section north of I-64 is finished this summer, construction will shift to the section between I-64 and Illinois 15.
