Roadwork Update: Fox Creek Road & Bridge Improvements Project Announcement

BLOOMINGTON, IL - Fox Creek Road construction between west of Savanna Road and east of Beich Road is scheduled to start as early as Thursday, May 7, 2026. Roadwork project schedules may change depending on weather and other factors.

The new roadway will consist of two lanes in each direction with a bi-directional center turn lane, totaling five travel lanes. The project will replace the bridge and install traffic signals at the intersections of Fox Creek Road at Danbury Drive and Fox Creek Road at Beich Road. In addition, the City will construct a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail north of the roadway, connecting the existing trail east and west of the project limits, as well as a sidewalk south of the roadway. These improvements will provide a road design similar to the roadway east and west of the project area.

"We know construction brings short-term inconvenience, but this is a long-term investment in safety, connectivity, and quality of life," said Mayor Dan Brady. "Projects like this are how we continue making Bloomington stronger and better prepared for the future."

The project will be constructed in multiple stages over the next two construction seasons, with completion targeted for late fall 2027. While traffic will remain open with one lane in each direction during construction, motorists should expect impacts from construction activities. The contractor will stage operations to maintain access for residents and businesses throughout the project.
