The BNSF railroad crossing on U.S. Highway 6 in Wyanet will close for up to seven days starting Monday, October 6th, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation. Crews will be working at the site, prompting a detour that directs drivers to use Illinois 26, Interstate 80, and Illinois 40. Travelers in this area should plan for potential delays and allow extra travel time, as officials warn of slow or stopped traffic near the construction zone. Motorists are reminded to watch for updated signage, follow speed limits, remain alert to workers and equipment, and avoid distracted driving through the marked work zone.
