The Illinois Department of Transportation announced Thursday that lane restrictions will be encountered on northbound I-255 milemarker 14.6 south of Exit 15 (Mousette Lane) in St. Clair County beginning this Friday, Feb. 2, at 9 a.m., weather permitting.

The median shoulder and two left northbound lanes will be closed to allow Electrico to remove and replace a damaged highway lighting pole. The right northbound lane will remain open, IDOT said.

All lanes are expected to reopen by 3 p.m. Friday.
