JOLIET, IL – The Will County Board today voted to reduce the gross weight of vehicles on Channahon-Minooka Road between US Route 6 and Bell Road from 40 tons to 14 tons.
“This measure will increase safety for the residents and students in Channahon and Minooka,” said County Board Member and Chairman of Public Works Committee Don Gould (R-District 6). “I am pleased to sponsor this resolution and want to thank Channahon Mayor Schumacher and Minooka Mayor Brennan for their support.”
Channahon-Minooka Road, also known as County Highway 32, is a major throughway connecting the towns of Channahon and Minooka. The road serves several residential neighborhoods and schools and has been used as a route by large trucks. The Will County Board Public Works Committee worked closely with both communities to address residents’ concerns about safety and to ensure that there were other routes available for heavy truck traffic.
