Title: I-80 and I-39 construction
Post by: ET21 on May 23, 2013, 06:17:48 PM
I'll be making a drive out to La-Salle in about a month and I'm wondering if there are any major construction projects on either I-80 or I-39. I'll be taking I-80 between 55 and 39 and 39 south to Ogelsby.

I saw there was something going on with I-39 starting at I-88 going southbound, but I thought that was all finished :hmmm:

Barring any new projects just starting up or maintenance activites, both I-39 and I-80 should be clear.

I believe both are clear.  I can vouch for I-80 being clear - just watch for the state troopers that like to sit near I-39.  Not so sure about I-39 south of I-80.

They are working on the I-39 bridges at I-88, looks to just be expansion joint type work.  No construction to be seen south of the bridges.

Awesome news, was worried that they were doing major work again on 39. Thank you

Drove I-39 today, there was a message board in the Oglesby area NB with 'Road Work Begins June 3' (may not be exact text).   There appeared to be a similar message board for SB I-39 just south of I-80.

Well if need be I can get off in La-Salle and just dip south on 251. 39 tends to be notorious for back-ups whenever there is construction on it  :-/
