July 8 - Early September

The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that road work began Monday, July 8 on Illinois 32/33 north of Effingham from Ford Avenue to Illinois 32 north.

This three-mile project includes patching and resurfacing. Lane closures using traffic control signs, arrow boards and barricades can be expected. This project is part of IDOT’s Transportation Asset Management Plan, which helps extend the lifespan of the existing driving surface to delay more costly pavement rehabilitation. The project should be completed by early September.

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.
