Bruce Findlay Road Intersection Now Four Way Stop
On Saturday, October 9, the intersection of Illinois 32 and Bruce-Findlay Road became a four-way stop. Traffic traveling on Illinois 32 will now have to stop at this intersection. Additionally, flashing beacons notifying motorists of the four-way stop have been installed, as well as rumble strips in the pavement approaching the intersection. The improvements will provide a safer intersection for motorists traveling Illinois 32 and Bruce/Findlay Road. The safety upgrades are a result of IDOT working with local officials to perform a rigorous safety analysis following a crash involving a school bus and SUV in 2019 that resulted in the death of a 5-year-old boy and 56-year-old woman.
