Road closed

GALATIA, Ill. (WSIL) -- A road will be permanently closed for motorists in Saline County.

This won't take place until mid-July though. The Saline County Highway Department says this will be Lone Oak Road, in which they will permanently close down.

As of July 16, 2025, Lone Oak Road will be closed to all traffic just south of the intersection of IL SR 34.

The highway department says the permanent closure is due to a legal document with the Road Vacation Certificate recorded with the Saline County Records Office.
