U.S. 52 work in Amboy begins July 10
The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that weather permitting, construction will begin on U.S. 52 in Lee County and Amboy on Friday, July 10th. The work zone is from U.S. 30 to Water Street.
Work will patch, mill and resurface the road. There will be temporary lane closures controlled by flaggers during the $1.9 million project, which is estimated to be completed at the end of October.
Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area and be prepared for slow and stopped traffic. 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, refrain from using mobile devices, and be alert for workers and equipment.
