If you travel through the Madison County village of Glen Carbon, you've probably noticed that Glen Crossing Road is closed at State Rt. 159. The convenient cross-town link went under construction in early February. It's being rebuilt from 159 to just east of Waterford Lane.
Area residents will be pleased to see new pavement, curbs, gutters, storm sewers and sidewalks when the project is finished. Village public works officials note that the work will be performed in seven stages and should be finished by the end of August 2008.
