Taking Route 71 between Utica and Ottawa will soon be possible again. After being closed for construction since March, a portion of the highway in Starved Rock State Park will reopen tomorrow. Workers have been putting in box culverts near a bridge that was installed last year. The entire project should be done by October 15th.
