Resurfacing project starts Monday on Illiopolis Blacktop in Logan County

 

[May 10, 2023] 

Beginning May 15th, a portion of County Highway 1 will be resurfaced south of Mt. Pulaski.

This road is also known as 1600th Avenue and as the Illiopolis Blacktop. Two miles of the road will be resurfaced, between the Sangamon County line and 200th Street. Traffic will be reduced to one lane during daytime construction activities.

The project was awarded to P.H. Broughton & Sons, located in Springfield, Illinois. The low bid on the project was $721,568. Logan County will use federal bridge program funds for 80% of the cost. Local property tax funds will be used for the remaining 20% local share.

Cooperation and patience are always appreciated during the construction season as we continue to improve the safety of our roads and bridges. Status of our local construction projects can be found on the News & Closures page of the County Highway Department website. https://logancountyil.gov/highway
