IDOT Announce Holiday Lane Opening

(Undated) — The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that lanes that have been closed for construction will reopen, where possible, for the Labor Day weekend to minimize travel disruption. According to IDOT, the “lane reduction” on Illinois 1 north and south of Lawrenceville will continue, with traffic controlled by temporary signals. They say “non-emergency closures” will be suspended from 3 p.m. today to 11:59 p.m. Monday. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changing conditions and signs in work zones, obey posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices, and stay alert for workers and equipment. At all times, please buckle up and drive safely.
