Road Construction begins

Kankakee County motorists will be experiencing road construction this spring and summer season, beginning today.  The Armour Road bridge rebuild will slow traffic on that route for the next 18 months.  The Illinois Department of Transportation says two lanes will remain open during the work.  The westbound lanes of travel will get attention first.  This is a $6-million dollar project.  Drivers are asked to proceed with caution and pay attention to the work crews.

Traffic will also be shutdown during overnight hours where work continues on Waldron Road over I-57.  The shutdown will happen each night this week from  8 pm until 6 am.

Manteno traffic is also slowed on Division Street, extending from Walnut Street to Route 50.
