2017 Concrete Street Improvements Project – Southmoor Drive

As part of the City’s 2017 Concrete Street Improvements Project, the pavement on Southmoor Drive from Rebecca Drive to Brett Drive is being reconstructed. The City’s contractor for the project, Otto Baum Company, will continue work beginning Wednesday, July 5, 2017, weather permitting.

On Wednesday, July 5, the westbound lane of Southmoor Drive will be closed at Brett Drive; the eastbound lane of Southmoor Drive will remain open. The northbound lane of Brett Drive will be closed at Southmoor Drive as well; the southbound lane of Brett Drive will remain open. This section of Southmoor Drive will be reopened Monday, July 10, weather permitting.

Due to the nature of the work, it will be necessary to close driveways to complete the work. Advanced notice will be given at least 48 hours prior to closure of driveways. Residents may not have access to driveways for up to seven days.

Please pay close attention to construction signs, traffic control devices, and marked detours. Please do not park on the street near the construction site or in areas that are posted “No Parking.” Please proceed cautiously through construction zones and use alternate routes whenever possible.

The City of Champaign would like to thank you for your cooperation and patience during this construction season. A map showing this location along with all 2017 City Engineering Division projects can be found at www.champaignil.gov/pwd, click on “Construction Map.”
