ROCKFORD (WREX) — A major Rockford roadway will be going under construction, likely snarling traffic for some time.

Rockford Public Works says a project to resurface more than a mile of Spring Creek Rd. will be getting underway on Monday, June 9.

The project will resurface the popular road across Rockford's east side from Spring Brook Rd. to N. Mulford Rd.

Initially, crews will have the outside lanes in both directions shut down for work. No timetable for how long the work will last was immediately available.

Drivers through that area can expect delays during the construction period and are encouraged by city officials to find alternate routes around the work zone.

If driving through the work zone, drivers are reminded to slow down and be careful around active workers and equipment.
