The change affects North Main Street, where left turns from the southbound lane onto East Vandalia Street will continue to be prohibited even after traffic shifts to the east alternating lanes, according to the city.

Using the new traffic configuration, work crews will construct pedestrian crossing bump-outs on the west side and prepare for road resurfacing later in the project.

“Thank you for your patience and understanding as this project progresses,” the City of Edwardsville said.
