Turn-around at IVCC needs to be replaced

A change of plans at Illinois Valley Community College is costing an extra $116,000.   “Unforeseen soil conditions” under the turn-around in front of the college means the turnaround will have to be replaced before the Peter Miller Community Technology Center opens.

The roadwork won’t delay the completion of the building which is scheduled for September 1.

 

Lane closures beginning Monday on I-39 bridge

          Maintenance to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge by Oglesby will have traffic slowing on Interstate 39.  Starting Monday one lane in each direction will be closed as crews apply a sealant to the bridge deck.

          The project shouldn’t take longer than two weeks, weather permitting.  Signs warning about traffic delays are posted.
