The U.S. 42 Bridge over U.S 40 in Madison County is closed for replacement until fall 2010. U.S. 40 is reduced to one lane in each direction for approximately one-half mile prior to the U.S. 42 overpass. Drivers on U.S. 40 and U.S. 42 now have to come to a complete four-way STOP at the intersection of U.S. 40 and old U.S. 42 east.

For traffic south on U.S. 42:
Exit U.S. 40 west, turn left on West Street and follow old U.S. 42 to U.S. 42 south

For traffic from U.S. 40 east to U.S. 42 north:
Proceed to the new four-way stop, turn left on to Old U.S. 42 and follow Old U.S. 42 to U.S. 42 north

For traffic from U.S. 40 west to U.S. 42 south:
Take U.S. 40 west, turn left on West Street and follow old U.S. Route 42 to U.S. 42 south
