GENEVA – Geneva aldermen Monday approved an agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation and Union Pacific Railroad for the Route 38/railroad overpass, mirroring a similar project at Keslinger Road where the grade is separated over the railroad tracks.

Aldermen first recommended approval of the agreement and the city’s cost of $237,000 at the committee of the whole, then took final action at a special City Council meeting immediately afterward.

Public Works Director Dan Dinges said the project is scheduled to begin next month.
