GODFREY — The Illinois Department of Transportation has intermittent lane closures on West Delmar Avenue from State Street in Alton to Illinois 3 in Godfrey that started Monday, Aug. 18, 2025. IDOT Operations Engineer Joe Monroe said the closures, necessary for pavement rehabilitation, are expected to last until the end of the month, with flaggers maintaining two-way traffic. Motorists should anticipate delays and are encouraged to seek alternate routes. Drivers are urged to reduce speed, obey construction signage, remain alert to changing conditions, and avoid using mobile devices in the work zone.

ALTON - Courtney McLaughlin wants to see Alton build a skate park, and almost 700 people are behind her. In May 2025, McLaughlin started an online petition calling on the City of Alton to build a safe and accessible skate park. As of this writing, she has close to 700 signatures from Riverbend residents encouraging the city to take action. “The energy of a skate park, especially when it is accessible, rideable, equipped, and done the right way, the energy there with the community, the kids, the adults, the friendships, the groups, the events — it’s something that you cannot match,” McLaughlin said. McLaughlin acknowledged that Alton’s current skate facilities exist, but they are not “accessible” or “rideable.” With broken equipment, she believes it’s better to “just shut it down and condemn it” and build a new space altogether. “Not only is the area a little bit dangerous, but the park
