Work on Kickapoo Street in Lincoln
begins Aug. 12
[August 09, 2025]
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois
Department of Transportation announced a $1.2 million improvement
project on Kickapoo Street in Lincoln from Lincoln Avenue to Old
Route 66. The main improvements include resurfacing and pavement
replacement. Work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, Aug. 12.
Other improvements include upgrading curbs, gutters and sidewalks.
Traffic will be limited to one lane in each direction. On-street
parking will be limited and there will be times that access to
business entrances and driveways will be impacted. Benefits from
this project include improvements to the driving surface and more
accessible sidewalks. The project is expected to be completed in
early November.
Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips
through this area. 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.
