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.

The Urbana Police Department will be purchasing a new fleet of squad cars after July 1, 2018. We estimate the cars to arrive six to eight weeks after being ordered and graphics installation to begin late September-early October. We are seeking a qualified company to install graphics on the new fleet. The graphics will be the same as the current fleet.

There will be a total of nine marked cars and three unmarked cars. The only graphics the unmarked cars will have are three-inch car numbers on the front and back along with the “Thin Blue Line” flag. The marked cars will not be changed.

To set up an appointment to inspect the current graphics or if you have any questions, please contact Lt. Jason Norton at the Urbana Police Department, 384-2320.

Bids should be received no later than May 18, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. Send to the attention of Lt. Jason Norton at the email address below.
