The Illinois Department of Transportation will be updating its policy about letting people know about construction projects.
A new law sponsored by Dixon Republican St. Sen Brian Stewart will make IDOT contact the highway commissioner located in each district that will be impacted by a project.
Stewart says many times the public is not aware of a new or expanded road construction projects.
He says that local governments could also be unaware.
IDOT is to update its website by January 1st.
