Area construction was expected to be back to normal today after partial restoration late last week following a strike by laborers and machine operators.
Tom Costello, IDOT resident engineer for Huntley's Route 47 widening project workers from two companies returned to work Thursday after approval of a new labor agreement. and those from the main contractor were due today. "They had a lot of projects to start again," he said.
Costello said utility crews should be back at work, too.
Meanwhile contractors will have materials to work with again. When the strike dragged into its second week Allied Asphalt in Huntley turned off its burners. "The liquid asphalt has to be stored at 300 degrees," said GM Dick Lyons who forecast it would be again by today.
