CBPU's water main upgrade plans included Sprague St. also, and apparently the plan is to tear up everything at once instead of doing the project piece by piece. So now Sprague St. is also closed, and detour signs are posted all over town (e.g., Sprague St. detoured to Michigan Ave.). The mystery, though, is why there are signs on State St. saying its a detour for Washington St. That makes no sense - why not just use Chicago (U.S. 12) or Pearl? Finally, to top off the summer construction season, it looks like barrels are going up on I-69 south starting at the U.S. 12 interchange. Have fun!
