Portions of Interstate 55 toward the downtown bridge are being closed due to construction.
On Tuesday night, one shutdown began on the northbound I-55 ramp leading south on Third Street. While renovation is underway, the ramp will remain closed indefinitely.\
I-55 will close in both directions at the Third Street exit starting on Friday. The exit ramp bridge will be demolished by TDOT workers.
Third Street will be closed in both directions from Monday through Wednesday to allow workers to finish demolition.
Additionally, both exit ramps from I-55 onto Third Street will be closed on Monday due to construction. The estimated duration of that shutdown is four months.
