(Undated) – If “Gordon Junction” is part of your travels next week, you will need to find an alternate route, at least for a couple of days. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois 1 East of Robinson will be closed on August 5th and 6th. The closure is necessary to upgrade signal circuitry and add gates to the crossing. They say no traffic will be permitted on Illinois 1 between Illinois 33 and east 950th Avenue during the repair period, except for local traffic. 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.
