Roadwork on Illinois 81 in Cambridge is set to begin Monday, April 13th, stretching from First Street to the north Illinois 82 junction. The $2.3 million project includes patching, resurfacing, and inlet repairs, with daily lane closures managed by flaggers through the end of July. Drivers are reminded to watch for changing traffic patterns, obey posted speed limits, and stay alert for workers and equipment. This project is part of Rebuild Illinois, an initiative investing $33.2 billion into the state’s transportation infrastructure over six years.
