The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that construction is underway on Illinois 115 (Jeffrey Street) in Kankakee. The work zone is from Washington Avenue to Gar Creek just south of 1000S Road.  Milling and resurfacing of the road will begin Monday, May 22. One lane of traffic will be controlled by flaggers when workers are present. Previous work included patching, drainage improvements and ADA sidewalk upgrades. The $2.1 million project is expected to be completed by August 15.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area and be prepared for slow and stopped traffic.
