Work on Illinois 82 in Henry County is set to begin Thursday, April 9th, stretching from south of Interstate 80 to Illinois 81 east of Cambridge. The Illinois Department of Transportation will oversee patching and intermittent resurfacing along the nine-mile section. Drivers can expect daily lane closures managed by flaggers throughout the project, which should be complete by the end of May. Officials urge motorists to stay alert, observe posted speed limits, and watch for workers and equipment. This project is part of the larger Rebuild Illinois initiative, aiming to significantly improve state highways and bridges over the next several years.
