Roadwork Begins On US 20/Illinois 73

It’s finally happening: the rebuild of US 20/Illinois 73 in Lena has started. Don’t expect it to be a quick fix, though – this project’s been years in the making. The good news is that it’s supposed to make the road safer and easier to navigate.

What To Expect

So, what’s changing? For starters, the road’s getting a major overhaul. It won’t be a simple repaving job – we’re talking new lanes, better drainage, and improved intersections. It’s a big deal, and it’s going to take some time to get it all done.

The project’s not without its challenges, either. You can expect traffic delays and detours, because what’s a road construction project without those? It’s not going to be fun, but it’s worth it in the end.
