Asphalt paving, streetlights, and pavement marking installation have been completed on the Indian Boundary Bridge in Plainfield.

Asphalt paving along the 143rd Street west extension in Plainfield “has been substantially completed” and the final layer of asphalt will be placed in November, according to the village.

The IDNR and Illinois Conservation Police remind the public to remain safe and sober on the water for Memorial Day weekend.
