CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) – The Prospect Avenue ramp to westbound Interstate 74 in Champaign will be temporarily closed beginning October 21. The closure was announced today by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
This roadwork is necessary to make a smooth and safe transition from the ramp for traffic merging onto the new pavement built on I-74 west of the Prospect Avenue/I-74 interchange. The ramp is expected to be closed until November 15, weather permitting.
Detour signs will be in place, indicating a detour. Traffic will be directed to travel east on I-74 to Neil Street, using the ramp to I-74 westbound.
