    An engineering firm has been selected to draft a new look for Broadway Street, and it has just a few months to complete the task.
    Years of planning and a guaranteed funding source  have led the Coal City Village Board to move forward with its plan to reconstruct South Broadway from Division Street south to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad crossing.
    The project is being aided by a $4.5 million federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) grant obtained through the Will County Governmental League.

Road construction season is shaping up to a busy one locally as projects get underway to improve a portion of Route 113 through Diamond and the replacement of a bridge over the Kankakee River.
    Construction crews have mobilized to begin the long awaited projects.
    Diamond Mayor Terry Kernc reported on Monday that the Route 113 reconstruction project slated to get underway this week was initially delayed due to rain.
    “Keep in mind that weather plays a role,” the mayor said.
