Major Road Project Almost Done In Utica

Driven through Utica lately?  What did you think of the new stretch of Route 178?

According to the NewsTribune, the Illinois Department of Transportation is expected to be completely done with the realignment around downtown Utica this week.  The project started two years ago in trying to take truck traffic out of the downtown.

The brand new intersection and overpass with Route 178 and Interstate 80 is also part of the same state project.
