Construction crews were busy completing all their appointed tasks last week for the Spring Street construction project through Galena last week. On Wednesday, Nov. 30., a crew from Selco began picking up traffic signs and barriers which had limited the highway to one-way traffic since last spring. Two-way traffic started along U.S. 20 by late morning. Crews then dedicated their efforts to repainting South Bench Street next to Illinois Bank & Trust and Gear Street so those roads could handle two-way traffic. Crews were able to complete the project’s first phase, according to Kristophere Owens, communications outreach liaison with the Illinois Department of transportation. Work will start again next spring when weather permits. The project should be completed by fall 2024.
