The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that resurfacing of Scott Street (Illinois 53/U.S. 6) from south of Chicago Street to Ruby Street in Joliet will require intermittent daytime lane closures beginning, weather permitting, Friday, June 5. ​

The $1.5 million project is anticipated to be completed in August. Access to residences and businesses within the work zone will be maintained throughout construction. ​

The public can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Alternate routes are encouraged. 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.
