Memorial Day weekend didn't only mark the kickoff of summer, it also meant road construction season in the south and southwest suburbs is heading into high gear. Road projects are already underway or poised to begin in several area communities, with some work picking up from last year and others slated to finish up in the coming months, according to the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways. Many of the projects announced recently are along county maintained roads in the south and southwest suburbs, in addition to street patching and resurfacing taking place by municipalities.
