Talk about one of Braidwood’s busiest intersections, which is about to get a lot busier, occurred during the June 24 city council meeting. It seems state transportation officials want a four-way stop installed at Illinois 113 and Coal City Road with the contruction of the nearby Mastodon travel center and car wash.
City Management Consultant Steve Gulden reported that Dave Smith, owner of Ridgeway Petroleum of Lansing, briefed him on the progress of the Mastodon travel center that will be located at Coal City Road and Division Street.

Improvements to the intersection of Illinois 129 and Coal City Road in Braidwood and Wilmington will begin, weather permitting, starting this week.
Initially, motorists can expect daytime closures, down to a single lane, with flaggers at the intersection. In early May, one lane in each direction will be maintained, with lane widths reduced to 9 feet 6 inches just before and after the intersection.
