 Rollins Rd. Update
Work can now begin on completing Rollins Road between Hainesville and IL 83. The contractor will spend this week installing the remaining sheet piling. Once that's installed, they will begin excavating down to the grades of the new road. That process should take about three weeks. At that point, the remaining work on the abutments can begin, followed by the new Rollins pavement under the bridge. Visit Rollinsroadgateway.com for updates
