Charleston Avenue (IL 16) Roadwork Update

Due to the weather forecast, paving operations will not take place again today.

Crews will be on-site removing temporary pavement marking tape on the east end of the project and preparing side roads for upcoming paving work.

Please note that traffic signals along the corridor will not be fully timed and programmed until the project is complete. This is part of the overall construction process and helps ensure the system functions properly once all work is finished.

This is an Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) project, and work is being coordinated through the state.

Motorists may still encounter lane closures and construction activity in the area. Please use caution, allow extra travel time, and consider alternate routes when possible. All work remains weather dependent and schedules may change. ... See MoreSee Less
