Windsor Road Lane Closures

The following lanes on Windsor Road will be closed starting immediately today until further notice is given by the City of Urbana:

• Windsor Road westbound outside lane from Vine Street to just west of Race Street
• Windsor Road eastbound outside lane from Vine Street to just east of Philo Road

Two-way traffic will be maintained at all times on Windsor Road. Work crews will be patching potholes continually on this section of Windsor Road to keep the road open to traffic until the pavement can be permanently reconstructed or rehabilitated. Motorists are advised to proceed with caution while traveling on Windsor Road from Race Street to Philo Road due to deteriorated pavement conditions. Rough Road signs are currently in place. Advisory speed limits signs dropping the speed limit from 40 mph to 30 mph will be in place starting tomorrow February 21st.

The Windsor Road pavement is suffering from a unique chemical reaction called alkali-silica reaction (ASR). This chemical reaction is causing the pavement to degrade at a rapid rate. The City of Urbana is currently working on long term plans to reconstruct or rehabilitate the Windsor Road pavement. Further information about Windsor Road can be found here.

We apologize for any inconvenience the lane closures and deteriorated pavement condition may cause.
