A single engine Cessna plane lost engine power and made an emergency landing Wednesday night in the median of Interstate 57 at milepost 47 in Williamson County.
Illinois State Police say the pilot was uninjured and the plane sustained minimal damage.

The northbound lanes of Interstate 57 were closed for approximately twenty minutes while removing the plane.
