Changes coming to Meijers south entrance by TSC...

Since 2021, the City of Danville has been working with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and commercial businesses to identify solutions that improve safety and reduce the risk of high-severity crashes at the commercial entrance, south of the Meijer gas station, along the east side of Illinois Route 1.

As part of the evaluation process, traffic safety information, logistical impacts, and long-term infrastructure asset management costs were reviewed and considered. The recommended solution for the location is to restrict this commercial entrance to a right-in, right-out only access.

The planned improvement will modify traffic movements by restricting certain turning movements and improving access management along Illinois Route 1. The raised median alternative provides a long-term, cost-effective approach with minimal logistical concerns to improve safety by reducing the potential for future high-severity crashes that have been historically prevalent at this location.

IDOT is tentatively planning to begin constructing the proposed improvements starting on Monday, August 31, 2026 and expect construction to be competed within 2 to 3 weeks.
"The safety of our residents and visitors remains a top priority," said Rickey Williams, Jr., Mayor of Danville. "Although this resolution has taken longer than anticipated, we are anxious for the project to start and to limit traffic incidents in this area”
