Route 31 Improvements Planned For Oswego, Montgomery

OSWEGO, IL -- Illinois Department of Transportation officials say bridge repairs and pavement improvements on Route 31, between Caterpillar Drive and Frontage Road, are expected to begin May 1.

The traffic in the area in question will be reduced to one lane in each direction. The project requires a shift to the southbound lanes before switching to northbound lanes during the second phase of work.

An October completion date is targeted for the improvements.

Motorists are asked to allow extra time for trips through this area, as delays can be expected, IDOT officials said. Drivers are urged to watch out for flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.
