The Illinois
Department of Transportation (IDOT) will be sending notice to their
contractors to stop all construction and prepare to make construction work
zones safe for a possible “long-term” shut down by June 30. This road
construction shut down is due to the lack of a state budget and an
appropriation
to fund work after July 1.
This will impact several large projects in Lake County where federal
funding is administered by IDOT:
-
Washington Street Grade Separation (LCDOT Project)
-
Deerfield Road – in the Village of Deerfield
and City of Highland Park (Municipal & LCDOT Project)
-
Grand Avenue at US 41 in the Village of Gurnee (IDOT Project)
-
IL Route 59 at Petite Lake Road intersection
improvement and resurfacing (IDOT Project)
LCDOT will be working with resident engineers and contractors to
make sure that the roadways are as safe as possible for the traveling public.
Road construction projects that are locally funded will continue as scheduled.
For information about any of
the projects in the 2017 Construction Program, view our interactive
construction map.
