BLOOMINGTON, IL – Starting Monday, August 17, 2026, Hamilton Road and Rhodes Lane will be closed to all traffic between 512 E Hamilton Road and 519 E Hamilton Road. Through traffic will need to utilize alternate routes. Access from the west to 512 E Hamilton Road will be available from Bunn Street, while access from the east to 512 E Hamilton Road will be available from Morrissey Drive. While it was originally estimated that this stage of construction would be completed by Friday, August 21, 2026, it is now estimated that it will be completed by Wednesday, September 30, 2026, due to unforeseen circumstances.
