Work on U.S. 30 in Whiteside County begins July 7

DIXON – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that weather permitting, work on U.S. 30 west of Morrison will begin Monday, July 7. The half-mile work zone will be from Garden Plain Road to the west Illinois 78 junction.

Work will mill and resurface the road. There will be daytime lane closures controlled by flaggers during the project, which is expected to be completed by the end of July.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area and be prepared for slow and stopped traffic. 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.

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 Five of Rebuild Illinois include approximately $16 billion of improvements statewide on 6,541 miles of highway, 686 bridges and 986 additional safety improvements.
