IDOT to Suspend Road Work for 4th of July

With thousands of motorists expected to travel on state roadways during the 4th of July holiday, the Illinois Department of Transportation says non-emergency road work will be suspended where possible to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow.
Starting at 3 p.m. Tuesday, IDOT will suspend all non-emergency road work for the holiday and open up all lanes where possible through midnight Wednesday. Some construction zones will have lane closures in effect, depending on the projects. IDOT is urging motorists to slow down, obey posted speed limits and drive with caution through work zones. Holiday travelers are reminded that work zone speed limits are still in effect wherever they are posted, even where no construction workers are present.
