The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will resume making ADA improvements Friday, May 17 at the Route 31 and State Street (Route 38) intersection in Geneva.
 
The State's contractor will be closing the northbound travel lane on Route 31 on the north side of the intersection May 17. One temporary northbound lane will be open but shifted west to use what normally is the southbound left-hand turn lane. Southbound Route 31 drivers will have only one lane as they approach the State Street intersection and will not have a dedicated left-hand turn lane to head east on State Street. Motorists should expect considerable delays and may want to consider alternate routes to reach their destination.  

Construction crews will be pouring concrete, which will result in leaving the temporary traffic pattern in place over the weekend as the new surface cures.

Asphalt work is scheduled to take place Monday to Wednesday, May 20-22 at all four corners of the Route 31 and State Street intersection, weather permitting. Drivers should again expect delays and consider alternate routes. For those that do travel through the intersection, pay attention for construction workers and signage.

Once completed, another contractor will be removing pavement markings at the Route 31 and State Street intersection followed by the application of new pavement markings. A schedule for this work has not been determined.
