Veterans’ Memorial Bridge will be Worked on after Labor Day Weekend

As soon as the long weekend ends, construction begins on a major road in Ottawa.

Starting Tuesday morning, crews will be working on Route 23 at the Veterans’ Memorial Bridge in the city. You can expect delays in the area through Thursday.

The Illinois Department of Transportation says the work being done is just routine maintenance. You’ll want to give yourself some extra time if you plan on being in that area because IDOT says traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction during the work.
