Two construction projects will affect traffic around Utica and Matthiessen State Park. Staring next Monday, Illinois State Police say IDOT is installing a roundabout at the intersection of IL 178 and U.S 6.
The stoplights will be remaining, but traffic might be backed up more than normal. IDOT recommends that drivers should use different route like IL 71. The Matthiessen State Park Dells entrance and parking area will also be closed until further notice for road construction and repairs starting Sunday, May 1st.
