Dixon – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced Tuesday that weather permitting, construction work is to begin on Thursday, April 2 on Illinois Route 38 from Phill Road to Interstate 39 in Rochelle. 

G.M. Sipes Construction, Inc. will be completing concrete patching on the $198,000 project. Lane closures will be utilized to complete the work with one lane open in each direction and all lanes open over the weekends. The project is anticipated to be completed within two weeks.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered. 

Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices and be alert for workers and equipment.
