Multiple Midwestern Interstate Closures Delayed Due to Weather

Multiple interstate construction projects scheduled for mid to late July have been postponed due to weather conditions. In Detroit, the Michigan Department of Transportation canceled a planned weekend closure of northbound I-75 for bridge protective surface work, rescheduling it for a future weekend. Similarly, the Indiana Department of Transportation delayed a northbound I-65 closure in Indianapolis, originally set for July 18-21, now planned for the weekend of July 25-28 to continue drainage work. Meanwhile, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced lane and ramp closures on eastbound I-55/64 in St. Clair County for July 19, with all lanes expected to reopen the same day, urging drivers to use alternate routes and exercise caution. In St. Joseph, Missouri, the Missouri Department of Transportation and Herzog Contracting Corp. postponed a concrete patching project on the I-229 ramp from July 21 to August 18-19, advising motorists to plan alternate routes during the closure. These schedule adjustments highlight ongoing infrastructure maintenance efforts across multiple states, with weather playing a significant role in timing.
