Rural Ottawa road to close Oct. 28 for culvert replacement

Work to take about 2 months

The Illinois Department of Transportation announced Wednesday that lanes that have been closed for construction will reopen, where possible, but other closures will remain over the holiday weekend.

County Highway 8, also known as North 2401st Road or the Deer Park blacktop, will be closed for a culvert replacement beginning Monday, Oct. 28.

The La Salle County Highway Department said in a Tuesday news release that the culvert, located 0.25 miles west of County Highway 57 (East 13th Road) on the South Ottawa-Farm Ridge townships line, will take about two months to replace, weather permitting.

Motorists are advised to use alternative routes around the construction site.
