Route 113 resurfacing to begin this week

The resurfacing of 1.58 miles of Route 113 [Division Street] through the villages of Coal City and Diamond is expected to get underway this week.
The $1.2 million project is being overseen by the Illinois Department of Transportation [IDOT] and is funded through the state’s Rebuild Illinois program.
D Construction was awarded the state bid for the milling and resurfacing project that will start at Lincoln Street and proceed east to the Will County line—Will Road in Diamond.
According to information provided by the village of Diamond, the entire roadway will be ground down twice and resurfaced in two layers.
Depending on weather conditions the project could take up to two weeks to be completed. The work should wrapped up by Oct. 31.
Local officials have said the work will result in lane closures and intermittent closures of select side streets along the route.
“We ask that you reduce speeds within the construction area, use caution and practice heightened awareness of flaggers, barricades and informational signal for everyone’s safety,” the village of Diamond noted.
The improvements began several weeks ago with the installation of ADA ramps on sidewalks at various intersections along the project area.
