JEFFERSON COUNTY — IDOT says staring Friday at 6pm, Illinois Route 37 will be closed between Rileyville Rd. and Walnut Hill Rd., one-and-a-half miles north of Dix, so a drainage structure can be replace.

The road is expected to re-open Monday, March 18th, by 6am.

Motorists should seek alternate routes. Message boards will be in place to alert traffic of the closure.
