Lane Closures Expected On Route 62 Bridge At Algonquin

Commuters over Algonquin's Route 62 bridge over the Fox River can expect lane closures there as early as today.  IDOT warning signs about "roadwork" appeared Tuesday and Village officials had almost as much trouble figuring out what it was as FEN did when the IDOT-supplied number for the project's Resident Engineer was reported "out of service".

Algonquin Public Works Director Bob Mitchard said Tuesday the work consists of bridge deck sealing.  It's part of an IDOT contract for "various routes" in Cook, Lake, Kane and McHenry counties starting today.  IDOT rules limit lane closures to off-peak commuter hours.  Peak hours are defined as 7 to 9 am and 4 to 6 pm.  According to Algonquin officials, the project's only supposed to last one day.
