 Hannig also announced that IDOT will make sure roads are open
wherever possible, but some projects will continue, resulting in
lane closures over the holiday weekend."While we want everyone to
enjoy their holiday weekend, we must put safety first and remind
motorists to not drink and drive and to be conscious of work zones,"
Hannig said. "We will limit lane closures where possible to provide
some relief to those traveling over the holiday weekend, but some
areas will still have workers present, so please obey the posted
speed limits and drive cautiously.
IDOT will suspend construction-related lane closures starting at
3 p.m. Friday until 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. Motorists are advised to
comply with the posted speed limit of 45 mph at all times while
driving through a work zone.
Wherever a road is closed, a detour will be posted. In some
areas, there will be lane restrictions.
Due to the nature of some projects, a number of work zones will
continue to have lane closures. Motorists are advised to slow down
and be alert in those work zones and are reminded that work zone
speed limits are still in effect.
