The Illinois Department of Transportation says that Mattis Avenue between Paula Drive and Hedge Road in Champaign will close October 5th.
The closure is necessary for the Norfolk Southern Railway to replace its crossing. No traffic will be allowed through the closure during the work, which is expected to last five to 10 days. A detour will be posted.
Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices and be alert for workers and equipment.
