| Public Act 100-0473 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning transportation.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by changing | ||||
Sections 4-407 and 4-408 as follows:
| ||||
(605 ILCS 5/4-407) (from Ch. 121, par. 4-407)
| ||||
Sec. 4-407.
The Department may temporarily close to traffic | ||||
any portion
of a State highway for the purpose of constructing, | ||||
repairing or making
improvements thereon. When a portion of a | ||||
State highway with a route
marking is so closed, the Department | ||||
shall arrange with local authorities
or otherwise to maintain | ||||
efficient detours around the portion of the State
highway which | ||||
is closed and, except for an unanticipated emergency as | ||||
determined by the Department, shall post notice of the detour | ||||
locations on the Department's website no later than 10 days | ||||
before the detour becomes active. Such detour shall be plainly | ||||
and conspicuously
marked with signs by which traffic may be | ||||
guided around that part of the
highway so closed.
| ||||
(Source: P.A. 84-873.)
| ||||
(605 ILCS 5/4-408) (from Ch. 121, par. 4-408)
| ||||
Sec. 4-408.
The Department may, upon application by the | ||||
proper authorities
of any local governmental agency, issue a | ||||
permit to such agency to
temporarily close to traffic any | ||
portion of a State highway for any public
purpose or for any | ||
temporary needs of such agency. Such permit shall be
issued | ||
only upon the explicit agreement of the local governmental | ||
agency to
assume all liabilities and pay all claims for any | ||
damages which shall be
occasioned by such closing and such | ||
agreement shall be made a part of every
such permit. When a | ||
State highway is closed by a local governmental agency
under | ||
the terms of a permit, the agency shall maintain efficient | ||
detours
satisfactory to the Department around the portion of | ||
the closed highway. Except for an unanticipated emergency as | ||
determined by the Department, the Department and the local | ||
governmental agency shall post notice of the detour locations | ||
on the Department's website and the local governmental agency's | ||
website no later than 10 days before the detour becomes active. | ||
A hyperlink on a local governmental agency's website to posted | ||
notices on the Department's website shall satisfy the | ||
requirements under this Section. A local governmental agency | ||
that does not have a website maintained by a full-time staff or | ||
a municipality with 1,000,000 or more inhabitants shall not be | ||
required to post detour locations under this Section.
Such | ||
detour shall be plainly and conspicuously marked with signs by | ||
which
traffic may be guided around that part of the State | ||
highway so closed.
