WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Ill. — The Illinois Department of Transportation began a culvert replacement project on Illinois Route 37 in Williamson County, according to the department's own announcement. The project started July 17; specifics on the exact location, detour routes, or completion timeline weren't included in the material available to this desk.
Route 37 is one of the arteries locals depend on to move between the county's towns, and any work on its drainage structures means delays for the drivers who use it daily. Motorists should expect the usual construction-season friction — lane restrictions, flaggers, and a slower commute — until IDOT closes out the work.
The American Times will report specific detour and timeline information as IDOT releases it.
