Construction to widen Highway 67/167 (Interstate 57) to six lanes between Main Street and Vandenberg Boulevard in Jacksonville requires a temporary closure of Vandenberg Boulevard between John Harden Drive and N. 1st Street from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly starting Sunday night, March 15 through Saturday morning, March 21.
Weather permitting, crews will close Vandenberg Boulevard underneath Highway 67/167 (I-57) to allow beam placement for the new bridge.
Signed detours will be in place to navigate around the closure. See detour map NR 26-035-A for more information.
