U.S. 6, Brandon Road resurfacing in Joliet begins Saturday

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that patching and resurfacing of U.S. 6 from Larkin Avenue (Illinois 7) to Brandon Road and Brandon Road between Meadow Avenue and U.S. 6 in Joliet will require intermittent daytime lane closures beginning, weather permitting, Saturday Nov. 15.

The work is part of the overall I-80 reconstruction project that is rebuilding I-80 from Ridge Road in Minooka to U.S. 30 in Joliet and New Lenox and is expected to be completed by mid-December.
