Intersection of Route 22 and 21 Construction Updates

March 11, 2010

As we indicated in last update of 2009, the contractor would be starting construction on March 1, 2010. Fortunately, due to the warmer weather, they were able to meet that date, and complete the utility work that was unable to be completed prior to winter. Additionally, they are moving ahead with the first phase of construction which entails preparation of the base course of stone. The contractor expects to be placing pavement on those areas on Monday, March 15th. This date is obviously weather dependant, but drivers should use additional caution during this construction activity as large machinery and substantial activity tends to distract drivers.

Unfortunately, due to the lost time over the winter, the original completion date has been compromised. The contractor and the Illinois Department of Transportation are attempting to work out an new schedule that will provide us with a new completion date. The Village will provide that information as soon as it is provided to us.

The Village will pass along information as it is provided to us, and will return to more regularly scheduled updates now that work has started back up.

As a reminder, reduced speed limits will still be in effect in this and all construction zones, whether or not workers are present. Drivers should continue to watch for changing traffic patterns and use caution, especially when workers are present. Police agencies have zero tolerance for drivers speeding in work zones. The minimum penalty for speeding in a work zone is $375. Posted signs advise motorists of a $10,000 fine and 14-year jail sentence for hitting a roadway worker.
