The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that a patching and resurfacing of Scott Street (Illinois 53/U.S. 6) from south of Chicago Street to Ruby Street in Joliet will require daytime intermittent lane closures beginning, weather permitting, Monday, June 10.

The $1.5 million project, which also includes new ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps, is anticipated to be completed in September. Access to residences and businesses within the work zone will be maintained throughout construction.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.
