The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has started pavement improvements on Illinois 29 and Illinois 48 in Taylorville. Paul Wappel is an IDOT Public Information Officer at the Springfield Central Office and he said that the roads will be much smoother when done, and that the work is expected to take about 2 weeks.
This week is Work Zone Safety Awareness Week and Wappel wants to remind motorists to please slow down when you’re driving in a work zone.
