Road Construction

The busiest intersection in Rockford is getting a makeover, and it appears the end is near.

All drivers, especially large trucks and semis would be doing themselves a favor if they avoided the 200 block of Rockford's East State Street for most of the week.

Good Monday morning motorists. If you travel on I-39 and US 20, get ready to adjust your travel for next couple of months.

Honestly, I am shaking my head at our government. They're considering an idea to help cover costs of road construction by taxing drivers by the miles they drive!

If you are a frequent traveller of the Spring Center Road Bridge over I-90 in Belvidere, better plan a detour to use until the end of the year, because it is officially closed for reconstruction as of Monday, March 28.

After the announcement that the Jefferson Street Bridge will be closed for repairs until the end of April, came the news that a second bridge will be closing.

Emergency water service repairs this week have reduced a portion of 11th Street in Rockford to one lane.

The City of Rockford has announced the temporary closure of two eastbound lanes and half of the center lane of Spring Creek Road starting 8 a.m. Wednesday.

If you have driven in Rockford, you have probably encountered some, if not all of these things. And you were probably really annoyed too.

Expect slower commute times through Friday if your route includes driving on N. Second St.
