Illinois 8/Business U.S. 24 work begins Oct. 21

WASHINGTON – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that resurfacing and other improvements on Washington Road/Peoria Street (Illinois 8/Business U.S. 24) between Legion Road and Zinser Place in Washington begins Oct. 21.

The project will reduce the road to one lane in each direction, with resurfacing expected to be complete by the end of November and sidewalk and traffic signal upgrades finished in the spring.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered. 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.
