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.
