Powering Up

Power Restored

However, like all utilities, we are susceptible to outages caused by bad weather, animals, equipment issues and more. This blog is designed to provide updates on what caused outages after service has been restored. Large-scale incidents will be posted in real-time on the City's Alert Center on the our website homepage. Customers can subscribe to receive these updates via Notify Me.

What's Ahead
The Illinois Department of Transportation announced the following operations will take place the week of July 20 with the State Street (Route 38) bridge resurfacing project:

  • Construction was substantially completed on the exterior lanes last week. The project now moves to the interior lanes, where crews continue to remove and replace joints on Pier no. 1 and 4 as well as grind off bridge deck patches.

Background & More Info
IDOT entered the second phase of construction July 15 for the downtown Geneva bridge spanning the Fox River. A new traffic pattern is diverting motorists to the two exterior lanes.

Construction began in late May and is anticipated to be completed in August, weather permitting.
