Hot Temperatures Cause Concrete To Buckle On LaGrange Road

FRANKFORT, IL — The hot temperatures during the Memorial Day weekend has caused concrete to buckle along LaGrange Road on Sunday. The damage has shut down a northbound lane of LaGrange, south of Nebraska Street, according to a Frankfort police alert.

This is the second time this week that excessive heat has created buckling concrete on LaGrange. A similar occurence happened Saturday, but the Illinois Department of Transportation was able to fix it.

IDOT is currently putting together a work crew to repair the damaged concrete. Drivers should expect slowed traffic in the area until the concrete is fixed.

UPDATED: The damage along LaGrange Road has been fixed, and the northbound lane is now open.
