range cones and red brake lights—the signs of warm weather and the continuation of the widening of Weber Road. Village officials are encouraging motorists who may be traveling to Joliet to use Route 53 from Airport to Renwick roads instead of Weber Road to help alleviate the bottleneck caused by an ongoing project to bring Weber Road to six lanes along that same stretch. Construction began on the project early last summer but never got far with issues with the utility companies.The project incurred major delays waiting for Commonwealth Edison and AT&T to move lines so that construction could begin. Last fall, utilities just finished their work and the highway department began work on sewer lines that were behind the curb area. Due to an already congested area, the construction plan for Weber Road was set to widen the road to three lanes on either side.That work is first to begin. Last year, the highway department had to restore lanes back to two before the winter. See HALT, page 3
