Illinois 26 work underway in Stephenson County

CEDARVILLE – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that construction is underway on Illinois 26 in Stephenson County. The work zone is from Brush Creek to Cedar Creek near the northern city limits of Cedarville.

The $2.3 million project will patch, mill and resurface the road. There will be daily lane closures, with traffic controlled by flaggers. All work is expected to be completed by the end of November.

Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zone areas, obey the posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices and be alert for workers and equipment.

Over the next six years, IDOT is planning to improve more than 3,200 miles of highway and nearly 9 million square feet of bridge deck as part of Rebuild Illinois, which is investing $33.2 billion into all modes of transportation. Accomplishments through Year Six of Rebuild Illinois include almost $20.8 billion of improvements statewide on 7,897 miles of highway, 815 bridges and 1,181 additional safety improvements.
