Eastern LaSalle County -- An 8 mile stretch of Interstate 80 east of Marseilles will be resurfaced beginning Wednesday.
The Illinois Department of Transportation awarded a $14.5 million contract to “D” Construction of Coal City for the project.
The affected stretch of road is between the Marseilles and Seneca exits on I-80.
IDOT says the eastbound lanes will be open during the morning commute while the westbound lanes will be open during the evening commute.
Detours will be posted on Illinois 71, U.S. 52, and Illinois 47.
The work is expected to be completed by December.
