LaSalle, IL – The LaSalle Police Department issued a traffic advisory Monday morning as crews manage temporary road closures to assist the movement of an oversized permitted load through the city.
According to the department, closures are currently affecting 3rd and Joliet Streets. The next impact will occur at 3rd and Joliet as the transport moves north onto Illinois 351, then west along Raccuglia Road and into the city limits of Peru.
Police say the brief closures are necessary to ensure the safety of motorists, workers, and nearby property while the large transport makes its way through local routes. The department thanked residents for their patience and cooperation during the operation.
Drivers are advised to use alternate routes and expect minor delays throughout the late morning and early afternoon as crews complete the move.
“Keeping LaSalle moving safely is always our priority,” the department said in a statement.
