The below map depicts current and upcoming project work along Green Street in Champaign. 

​The north half of Green Street from Goodwin Avenue to Lincoln Avenue will be closed to westbound traffic starting 7:00 a.m., Tuesday, March 6, 2018, until further notice. Westbound Green Street traffic will use a marked detour route via Springfield Avenue. Eastbound Green Street traffic will use the south half of the street. Northbound and southbound traffic will be maintained at all times at the Goodwin Avenue, and Lincoln Avenue, intersections with Green Street. If possible, through traffic is encouraged to use University Avenue or Florida Avenue instead of using Green Street during construction. Periodic lane closures on Lincoln Avenue north and south of Green Street and on Lincoln Avenue east of Lincoln Avenue to Busey Avenue may also occur during this time period. The sidewalks on the south side of Green Street from Goodwin Avenue to Lincoln Avenue will remain open to pedestrians. Pedestrian access for the CUMTD bus stop system will be available at bus stops provided on Springfield Avenue and Goodwin Avenue in the vicinity of the project. CUMTD buses will not be using Green Street from Goodwin Avenue to Lincoln Avenue at this time. We appreciate the patience and cooperation of the public during construction of this project.

Traffic signal work at the intersection of Lincoln Ave. and Green St. began today. The work is expected to last through Friday, February 23, 2018 - weather dependent. The traffic signals are being replaced. During the daytime, the intersection will act as a four-way stop controlled intersection. Message boards will be installed north and south of the intersection alerting motorists of the stop signs. Delays to motorists near the intersection can be expected while this work is occurring. The traffic signals are expected to be operational each evening. Pedestrian access through this location will be maintained at all times. 

On Friday, December 15, 2017 (by 3:30 p.m.), the Multimodal Corridor Enhancement Project (MCORE) will reopen Green Street between Neil Street and Fourth Street. Some construction activities will occur over the winter and into 2018 as temperatures allow. This work includes: street lighting; streetscape items such as pavers in parkway, bike loops, and landscaping; and permanent pavement markings. Some of this work may require lane closures, however two-way traffic will be maintained. This will allow access on Green Street from Neil Street to Lincoln Avenue
