Regarding limiting truck traffic through our city:
We cannot prohibit semis, or any legal loads under 40 tons, from using any state roadways, including Route 17, Route H, and the I-44 Business Loop. The City can prohibit such loads on City streets, like Old H and GW Lane.
Regarding the timeline for completion:
2. Per our construction contract, the contractor has to have both eastbound I-44 lanes open to traffic by noon on August 9th (which is a Sunday). Right now, it is looking like they may beat that deadline by a couple of days.
Addressing the timing on the traffic lights on Route 66:
3. We are actively working on the signal timing along Route 17 and the Business Loop to see what improvements can be made.
Thank you for your patience, and let's hope the weather holds off so this can be completed as planned. Please share!
