FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS – The Illinois Department of Transportation today announced ramp openings as well as ramp and lane closures at the Interstate 64 and Illinois 159 interchange in St. Clair County for ramp maintenance work.

Starting at 1 a.m. Friday, June 5, the following ramps will close:

• Southbound Illinois 159 to eastbound I-64
