Learning a skilled trade is about more than what happens in the classroom. We recently welcomed students from Rock Valley College for a firsthand look at the I-39/US 20 construction project. #RebuildI39#RockValley#HCCTP
📆 New month. Same mission.
October is here, and as the leaves change, the project continues to take shape. 🍂
Keep an eye out for crews and changing traffic patterns, and check project updates before you travel. Learn more here: https://t.co/YYUhtbMsVL #RebuildI39
Orange is the new black. 🟠 At least around here.
From barrels and signs to equipment and safety gear, orange is
everywhere in an active work zone—and that’s your cue to slow down and pay
attention.
See orange? Think caution. #OrangeZone#RebuildI39 https://t.co/YYUhtbMsVL
I-39 #GroupChat
🚧: We’re moving equipment.
🚗: Where are we going?
🚦: Stop or go. Make up your mind!
🪧: Guys. We literally told you.
📍: Recalculating…
🚧: Please stop driving around me.
#RebuildI39: Everybody relax. We’ve got this. ➡️ https://t.co/YYUhtbMsVL
It's the #FirstDayOfFall, which means:
🍁 Leaves will change.
🌅 Days will get shorter.
🚧 The work zone is still a work zone.
As daylight hours change, remember to stay alert, watch for workers, and follow posted signs. New season. Same rules. #RebuildI39 https://t.co/YYUhtbMsVL
You know what’s predictable about construction? Nothing. 😎
Traffic patterns can change as work progresses. Follow posted signs when traveling through the project area.
Your GPS knows where you’re going. The signs know what’s happening right now.

September 11 is a day to remember the lives lost, the families forever changed and the first responders who answered the call.
We remember. We honor. We never forget. 🇺🇸

School is back. Schedules are back. And suddenly everyone is late again.🎒
If your commute takes you through the #RebuildI39 area, give yourself extra time and stay alert for changing traffic patterns.
A few extra minutes = an easier commute.

#LaborDay weekend: 🍔 burgers on the grill, feet up, work zone awareness ON.
However you’re spending the long weekend, remember that construction crews may still be working.
Slow down. Stay alert. Watch for changing traffic patterns.
#RebuildI39 https://t.co/YYUhtbMsVL
#LaborDayWeekend energy:
☑ No alarm
☑ Questionable amount of snacks
☑ “We should go somewhere”
☑ Scrolling https://t.co/YYUhtbMsVL
If your weekend plans take you through the #RebuildI39 project area, check your route before you go and leave room for the unexpected.
🍂 Fall will be here before we know it. Before the leaves start changing, crews are working to keep construction moving and make the most of the remaining summer construction season.
Summer may be packing its bags. We’re still putting in the work. 🦺https://t.co/YYUhtbMsVL
☀ Summer is wrapping up. The beach towels are going back in storage. The school supplies are ready. The traffic patterns are changing. And construction? Still moving.
Thanks for your continued patience as we build toward a better roadway. #RebuildI39 https://t.co/YYUhtbMsVL
🎒New backpacks.
📚New classes.
🚌New traffic patterns.
Now that students are back in school, remember that nearby roads can get busy quickly. Watch for students crossing, buses stopping and more vehicles on the road during the morning and afternoon rush.

🌤️August construction forecast:
100% chance of work
High probability of progress
Occasional delays
A strong possibility of improved infrastructure. #RebuildI39 https://t.co/YYUhtbMsVL
🚗August is prime time for road trips, weekend plans and “how much longer?” from the backseat. If your route takes you through the project area, allow extra time and follow posted signs. Your destination will still be there. Promise. For detour info, visit https://t.co/YYUhtbMsVL
TRAFFIC ALERT! Repairs to I-39 bridges over the CPKC Railroad (foreground) and Illinois 72 (background) will begin August 18th. One lane will be closed in each direction on I-39 and there will be some daytime closures on Illinois 72. Visit https://t.co/YYUhtbMsVL for more info.
Some project progress is easy to spot. New pavement? Definitely. New structures? Hard to miss.
But some of the most important work happens underground or behind the scenes. Not all progress makes for a great photo—but it all helps move the project forward. https://t.co/YbyaNWihk2
🎒🚌School supplies are being purchased. Backpacks are coming out of hiding. That can only mean one thing: back-to-school traffic is almost here.
Plan ahead, allow extra time and follow posted signs. For current closures and detours, visit https://t.co/YbyaNWihk2 #RebuildI39
