UPDATE:
December 2012
Mainline asphalt paving work ended for the year with the onset of cold temperatures. Much of the Stage 2 pavement has been
completed. 2 lanes of traffic in each direction on US 56 are being provided thru the winter east of Herrick Road. Traffic west of
Herrick Road will remain in Stage 2 configuration with 1 lane of traffic in each direction on the new eastbound lanes of IL 56. In
the Spring of 2013, medians, driveways, sidewalks, and landscaping will be completed. Starting in May of 2013, one lane in each
direction will be closed east of Herrick Road to allow completion of the final asphalt surfacing. Substantial completion is
expected by July 4, 2013. |

WORK ZONE SAFETY
Did you know work zone fatalities are down 29.6 percent compared to
2003? Aggressive law enforcement and awareness campaigns and
significant improvements to work zone safety traffic control reduced
Illinois work zone fatalities from 44 in 2003, including 5 workers,
to provisionally 30 with 3 workers killed in 2010.
So, Give ‘em a
brake…slow down for their sake and yours!
IDOT appreciates your patience and understanding as we work to
improve the roadways in your community.
