Illinois 128 to close May 3
BETHANY – The Illinois Department of Transportation announces that Illinois 128 about a mile south of Bethany Road will close May 3.
The closure is necessary to replace the bridge over Wilborn Creek. A detour will be posted during the work, which is expected to be complete in August.
Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. 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.
Over the next six years, IDOT is planning to improve more than 3,300 miles of highway and 8.4 million square feet of bridge deck as part of the Rebuild Illinois capital program, which is investing $33.2 billion into all modes of transportation. Year One included approximately $2.7 billion of improvements statewide on 1,706 miles of highway, 128 bridges and 228 additional safety improvements.
