RXR CLOSURE AT RT 38/23:

Union Pacific will be conducting a track closure starting on October 5 thru October 12 to repair 350 ft. of track.

IDOT continues to work on the RT 38 resurfacing. They will take advantage of the RXR closure on October 5 and finish the downtown portion of the milling during this time. There may be some daytime work due to the need for warmers temperatures for asphalt.
