The Illinois Department of Transportation will be working on resurfacing Illinois Route 29 between Velma Road in Taylorville and Magnolia Street in Pana. The work will require lane closures and flaggers will be present to control traffic.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Slow down and don’t text and drive.

When feasible, IDOT is encouraging using alternate routes. Pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones. Obey all posted speed limits and be on the lookout for workers.

The work is expected to wrap up in November.
