I see from the IDOT link that there was no update on the work for just over a year (from 6/4/13 to 6/9/14). Too bad IDOT can't keep every one a little more up to date on the progress. A year ago it was 56% complete, now all of a sudden it's at 83%.
I have to agree that it was kind of a drag to see no progress all winter long, yet traffic would still get backed up because of the construction speed limits.
