Commuters traveling on Illinois Route 29 will have more lanes to choose from soon. Ron Archambeau, District Six Construction Engineer with the Illinois Department of Transportation said the southbound section of the project should open up as early as the end of this week.

Archambeau said that even though part of the project will be open, commuters should still expect lane closures on the highway as work is finished up on the northbound side of Route 29.

Archambeau expects all work on Route 29 to be completed sometime around mid-October.
