"While the necessary repairs have been made to the bridge deck, additional time is needed for the concrete to set and gain sufficient strength before the lanes can be reopened to traffic," a release from IDOT said Tuesday."A concrete mix with an accelerated cure time was used, but low temps slow down concrete curing."
"The left lane of the bridge and the ramps will remain open," Tuesday's release went on to say."We anticipate all lanes will be reopened later this evening. However, it may take more time if the concrete has not cured."
