Lane closures on I-39 for new ramp openings in Cherry Valley

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Traffic patterns on the I-39 and US 20/Harrison Avenue interchange will shift this week as the Illinois Department of Transportation opens the newly constructed ramps.

Beginning at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 24th, through Friday, July 25th, one lane in each direction will be closed in anticipation of opening the new north and southbound entrance ramps to I-39 in Cherry Valley.

The old ramps will be closed after the new entrance opens.

According to a press release, “The $44.2 million interchange project is part of a larger $302 million, multiyear project made possible by Gov. JB Pritzker’s Rebuild Illinois capital program to improve I-39 between the U.S. 20/Harrison Avenue interchange and Blackhawk Road in Cherry Valley and Rockford. Most of the project is scheduled to be complete by the end of the year, with some final touch-up work to be completed in spring 2026.”
