Rochelle, IL – The Route 251 Overpass will re-open for traffic on Friday September 2 at 3:30P.M. Construction will continue with intermittent lane closures for the duration of the IDOT project.
As the bridge is re-opened, former Rochelle Mayor Bill Cippola will drive his 1931 Model-A car over the bridge after a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3:00PM at the top of the bridge.
The City of Rochelle would like to thank IDOT and their contractors for their diligence in completing this project in a safe manner.
