This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t rely on luck: Be smart, be sober and buckle up
St Patrick's Day means celebrations across Illinois. It also means the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office joins more than 200 Law Enforcement Agencies across Illinois to help prevent impaired driving.
No matter how you celebrate, make sure you and your friends stay safe this St. Patrick's Day by remembering: "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" and " Drive High - Get a DUI"
Here are some simple steps to enjoy a safe St. Patrick's Day.
If you are hosting a party:
Remember, you can be held liable and prosecuted if someone you served is involved in an impaired driving crash.
Make sure all of your guests designate their sober drivers in advance or help arrange ride sharing with other sober drivers.
Serve plenty of food and non-alcoholic beverages at the party.
If you are attending a party:
Designate your sober driver before the party begins and give that person your vehicle keys.
If you don't have a designated driver, ask a family member or friend for a ride home or call a cab, take public transportation or use a ride-share service.
Never let a friend leave your sight if you think they are about to drive impaired.
Always buckle up - it's your best defense against an impaired driver ... See MoreSee Less

Bob Michel Bridge rehabilitation starts March 13
The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that rehabilitation of the Bob Michel bridge carrying Illinois 40 over the Illinois River is scheduled to begin March 13, weather permitting. The bridge will remain closed to vehicular traffic until November, while staying open to bikes and pedestrians throughout the project.
Starting the week of March 6, intermittent lane closures are expected in preparation of the upcoming bridge closure. Motorists will be detoured across the river on the Murray Baker Bridge carrying Interstate 74 from downtown Peoria to East Peoria.
The estimated $24.6 million project consists of removal of sidewalks, reducing the outside shoulders to 3.5 feet wide and consolidating the bike and pedestrian space to the north side of the bridge. The redesign will result in a 14-foot-wide multi-use path with a concrete barrier wall separating cars and the path to make it safer for all who share the bridge. The new bridge deck will include a concrete overlay and new joints to preserve and extend the life of the deck.
Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices and be alert for workers and equipment.
For more information on this project, visit www.bobmichelbridge.com/. The website features project details, maps, historical facts and photos. Additional information on IDOT projects can be seen here.
