All interested parties are welcome to attend. The Construction Information Meeting will outline the project in detail and inform local residents and business owners of the construction schedule, plans, and how they can stay informed during construction.
Preliminary work on the Illinois
Route 31 at Virginia Road / Klasen Road Widening and Reconstruction Improvement
has already begun. All work is anticipated to be completed in the Spring
of 2013.
The improvements for Illinois Route
31 @ Virginia Road/Klasen Road Widening and Reconstruction include:
- Illinois Route 31 will be widened and reconstructed to provide 2 through lanes in each direction and dedicated left and right turn lanes at the Virginia Road and Klasen Road intersections.
- Realignment of the Virginia Road intersection to the north to improve safety
- New turn lanes on Virginia Road and Klasen Road at their intersections with Illinois Route 31
- Modernized traffic signals at both the Klasen Road and Virginia Road intersections
This approximately $8,500,000
improvement project is being funded in part by the Illinois Department of
Transportation and the Federal Highway Transportation Bill SAFETEA-LU.
Utility relocation work is underway
now and will wrap up as the roadway work continues.
