More overnight restrictions
It was obvious that IDOT was just getting warmed up with the morning lane restrictions. They have announced more restrictions in the overnight hours for the canal bridge in both directions from 9PM to 5AM Sunday through Thursday through July 22.
Lane restrictions on river bridge today
Sorry for the late update but a power failure kept me off the computer most of the night. KMOV is reporting that IDOT is planning for lane restrictions from 9 AM to noon today on the river bridge for pavement inspections.
Plan for major delays or use the Clark Bridge.

Second straight day of incidents
Last night while at work, mobile twitter displayed these four tweets in the same time frame. In addition, one of my followers sent me a tweet about it as well. However, there is no link with any details out there right now so I will have to camp the Mitchell FD website for any possible details at a later time.

Another incident at Riverview
Today was just one of those days. An already bad enough delay on the eastbound lanes due to the canal bridge repairs got even worse when this happened:
Traffic backed up to Bellefontaine Road as crews tried to clean up that mess.
The canal bridge work isn't done, as the Alton Telegraph has posted tonight that there will be more work tomorrow. IDOT traffic site has confirmed it. Plan on seeing more delays or wait til at least 3:30 PM to cross the river, or just use the Clark Bridge.
Don't forget that the river is also running very high and there will be distracted drivers, especially during the first thing in the morning where they are facing the sunlight. Bookmark this link to your smartphone or computer so you can get your sneak peeks before you cross the river.

more canal bridge restrictions June 22
Since the people that rely on the canal bridge got off the hook with lane restrictions this week thanks to Mother Nature, IDOT has posted on stl-traffic.org website that there will be more lane restrictions on June 22 from 7AM to 3PM. Plan on using alternate routes such as the Clark Bridge as there is potential for 5 mile backups trying to get through the zone or pray for more rain for that day.
