Those who commute between Taylorville and Pana using Illinois 29 should expect delays from construction beginning April 1.  The Illinois Department of Transportation says work will be done on the route just outside Millersville.  The construction will entail removing a small single span bridge near Christian County FS, which is at N 2000 East Road.  The bridge will be replaced with a box culvert.  The Lincoln Prairie Trail – which runs along the road – will have a temporary detour during the work.  Signs will be put up to indicate the detour.  Once the work is completed, the bike path will be restored to its original setup. 

IDOT did not specify when they expect the work to be completed.  IDOT reminds drivers to be cautious near the construction effort, obey all signs, and allow extra time in their commutes. 

Illinois 29 has seen multiple construction projects within the last decade.  Last year, the Department completed resurfacing work on a bridge.  Regional Radio News also has stories on work from five years ago and another from nine years ago.
