Road Construction

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!

'Tis the season for orange traffic cones in Rockford, and now one of the city's busiest streets will be under construction through mid-July.

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.

Rockford travelers will want to avoid the Jefferson Street Bridge on Thursday as it will closed for repairs .

South Main businesses and some residents have had to navigate around barrels and construction signs for more than a year. The Illinois Department of Transportation says it plans to open four lanes, on South Main Street, by Christmas. Here's more.

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.

One of Rockford's main roads could be reduced to one lane for nearly three days later this week.

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

Rockford will be experiencing some road closings due to construction in the coming days.
