Heads up, Knox County! U.S. 150 near the Spoon River bridge is closed for at least 72 hours due to an oversized load with a broken trailer. A specialized crane is needed for repairs.

Detour route 👉 Use I-74 to re-enter U.S. 150 via the IL 97/U.S. 150 exit east of Knoxville. An additional alternate route is IL 180 to IL 167 to U.S. 34 to U.S. 150/Henderson Street.

❄️ We’re closely monitoring the weather and will plow as conditions allow, though efforts may be limited. Public safety remains our top priority, and we’ll work to reopen the road as quickly as possible. Details: http://prez.ly/aR2d
