Initial roadway construction associated with the Whitney Hill wind farm is underway. This project is a second phase of the HillTopper wind farm located near Mt. Pulaski.

Over 10 miles of roadways will be improved and 31 cross-road culverts will be replaced. Approximately $8M of improvements will be made to the local roadways.

Occasional road closures will be required over the next few months. Most culvert installations will be completed with a daytime closure. However, some longer term closures will be needed. Stabilization of the road bases will require closures that may last up to one week.

Signs will be erected to warn traffic of these road closures, and local residents will still have access.

For the most current road closure information, please visit the ENEL-North America website at www.enelgreen power.com/country-north-america/whitney-hill

Construction is expected to last through much of 2019. Cooperation and patience is always appreciated in work zones. Drivers should continue to be alert for construction traffic and road conditions.
