IDOT’s goal is to announce the heavily traveled road is open soon. IDOT’s Joe Monroe recommends that people stay off the River Road this morning and obey the barricade signs so the department can properly operate in the cleanup.

Monroe said he hopes to have an announcement this afternoon about the opening of the road again.

“We did all kinds of work on the River Road on Thursday and Friday,” he said.
