    Southbound I-275 lanes closed overnight on Wednesday, March 4 prior to the U.S. 41 exit.

    On Wednesday night, both southbound lanes on I-275 prior to the U.S. 41 southbound exit will be closed. All traffic wanting to head southbound on I-275 will be detoured to exit onto U.S. 19 and will be directed to follow the posted detours to head back to I-275. The closure is expected to start at 7 p.m. and is expected to be completed prior to 5 a.m.

    Please use caution and follow posted signage during the closure.

    • During the active construction phase, motorists can expect uneven pavement throughout the project limits. Please use caution and follow the posted speed limits.
    • Paving will continue once sustained ambient temperatures are above 65 degrees consistently, which is the required temperature for the specific asphalt mix being used for the pavement transitions.
    • Estimated completion is late summer 2026.
