Repairs on Quincy Memorial Bridge to begin April 13

QUINCY - The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that repairs on the Quincy Memorial Bridge (eastbound U.S. 24) over the Mississippi River at Quincy are scheduled to begin Monday, April 13. ​

Repairs to reinforce expansion joints will take approximately three months. Traffic will be reduced to a single lane across the bridge. Message boards, directional arrows and barrels will help direct traffic. ​

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips across the bridge. Drivers are urged to pay close attention and obey the posted speed limits.

The replacement of the Memorial Bridge is included in IDOT's latest multi-year program as a joint project with the Missouri Department of Transportation, with construction tentatively scheduled to begin between 2029 and 2031.
