West Antionette Street To Close At South Western Avenue April 12

Press release from the City of Peoria:

West Antionette Street will be closed at South Western Avenue beginning Monday, April 12 at 7 a.m. The road closure is necessary as workers progress on Phase I of the Western Ave road reconstruction project.

Phase I is progressing on time and is expected to take all of the 2021 construction season to complete with Stage II to follow in spring 2022. So far workers have addressed storm sewer and water main installations, some sidewalk upgrades and the relocation of utilities. Once complete, nearly one mile of roadway will be improved.

Detours in Place
Drivers should follow the existing detours in place and note that more intersections could be closed in the future. Road Closed Ahead signs with barricades are posted at Lincoln and Western Avenues and Malone Street at Western Avenue.

Detour signs are posted in the area in and around Howett Street, Lincoln Avenue, Griswold Street, Adams Street and Jefferson Avenue. Drivers should take extra caution and consider taking alternative routes when possible.
