Heavy Construction Near Chicken-N-Spice Restaurant
General contractors with D Construction have been tearing apart the back parking lot and along sidewalks near Joliet's Chicken-N-Spice.
JOLIET, IL — Last week, heavy construction equipment from D Construction in Coal City was busy tearing apart the parking lot behind the Chicken-N-Spice restaurant in downtown Joliet. In recent days, the work has shifted to Webster Street where construction cranes have been ripping out the street. At times, the work can get quite loud.
