The project involves the realignment of the west leg of Illinois 162 to tie in with the east leg of Illinois 162 at a proposed traffic signal, thus eliminating the offset intersections of Illinois 162 with stop control. The project also involves reconstruction of the bridge that carries Illinois 157 over Judy’s Branch, construction of a new bridge to carry Illinois 162 over Judy’s Branch and construction of a pedestrian bridge parallel to Illinois 157 over Judy’s Branch. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss traffic management for the project during construction.
Handouts and display boards will be available for public review, as will information regarding the construction sequencing. You may come and go at any time during the scheduled meeting hours. Representatives from IDOT and the project consultant, Fuhrmann Engineering Inc., will be available to discuss the project and answer questions. The meeting will be held in an open house format.
