Starting October 21, 2024, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) kicks off a significant repair project on Route 78, impacting the stretch from the railroad track north to 10th Street. Scheduled to last about two weeks, the construction will prompt road closures and necessitate traffic detours. Commuters are advised to look out for posted detour routes to navigate around the construction area efficiently. This endeavor aims to enhance road conditions and safety on one of the area’s frequent routes, promising smoother and more secure journeys for all motorists post-completion. Residents and travelers should plan for potential delays and adjust their schedules accordingly.
“The goal of this state-led project is to improve roadway conditions and ensure safer travel along this busy route.”
