The City of Rock Island will begin construction on the Blackhawk Hills Dr/River Heights Rd Reconstruction Project (CRI Job #2815) the week of May 10th.   The contractor for this project is Langman Construction, Inc. of Rock Island, Illinois.   This project is funded with Illinois Motor  Fuel  Tax  funds  and  will  include: the reconstruction  of  the  roadway,  residential driveway replacement adjacent to the roadway, and ADA compliant pedestrian curb ramps.

In order to receive the Illinois Motor Fuel Tax funds from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the City of Rock Island is required to host a public meeting to discuss the project’s construction. The public meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at 6:00 p.m.
