Final landscaping has started for the remainder of the site. Trees and shrubs have been planted at select locations, including along the new multi-use path that will connect realigned Washington St to the intersection of IL 59 & Grand Ave.

The pavement has also been milled at various locations in preparation for the final layers of asphalt. Paving will begin this week for the leveling layer, prior to the final surface layer later next week.

Detector loops will be installed in the new pavement on IL 59 for vehicle detection at the traffic signals. Work on the new street lighting and new traffic signals will also continue.

Thank you for your interest in the IL 59 and Grand Avenue Intersection Improvement Project. Stay tuned to the website for future updates.

Please proceed with caution through the work zone and stay alert for workers and equipment.
