IDOT speeds up I-55 widening plan
The state has sped up the bidding for the widening of Interstate 55, likely ensuring the project will be finished by the fall of 2008. One lane will be added to the expressway in either direction, from Weber Road to Interstate 80. Bidding is now scheduled for June, rather than September, Illinois Department of Transportation spokesman Mike Claffey said. "We were a little bit concerned that the work would spill into 2009 if it was going to be let much later in this year," he said. Claffey added the timetable was stepped up at the request of state Rep. Tom Cross (R-Oswego). "This is the first time we've actually had some definition as to time, which we're very pleased about," Cross said. Work is under way to widen seven bridges along I-55 between Weber Road and U.S.
Waterhouse painting owned by Cdn couple to go on auction block ...
TORONTO (CP) - A rare Edwardian-era painting that belongs to a Canadian couple is expected to fetch up to US$2.5 million at a Sotheby's auction in New York on Wednesday. The oil-on-canvas piece, called "Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May," was painted by well-known British artist John William Waterhouse in 1909 and depicts young women picking flowers in a meadow. The composition comes from the Robert Herrick poem of the same name. The painting was obtained by the unidentified Canadian couple in the early 1970s when they bought an Ontario estate and its entire contents - including the artwork. Sotheby's believes the painting wound up in the house after the previous home owners purchased it from a private Canadian collection. The original owner was Sir Brodie Haldane Henderson in Hertfordshire, England.
