US 45/Cunningham Avenue Lane Closures

The Illinois Department of Transportation announces lane closures for road work on U.S. 45 from north of I-74 to University Avenue beginning May 15 and lasting until November, weather permitting.

The project consists of patching, milling, construction of a shared use path, and bridge repair and resurfacing. One lane will remain open on U.S. 45 in each direction during this time.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits, restrain from using mobile devices and be on the alert for workers and equipment.
