Fifth Street Road Project

The City of Lincoln, State of Illinois, and County of Logan have partnered to redevelop Fifth Street Road west of Lincoln Parkway (Old Route 66) to the Interstate overpass. Not only will this improve the roadway itself, but was to correct water drainage along the roadway itself from neighboring developments.

Mask Requirements

Details: Created: 07 August 2020

The City of Lincoln would like to remind everyone that the use of masks is very important in stopping the spread of the COVID-19 virus and keeping you and your loved ones safe.

Anyone entering any business or organizations should wear masks while indoors or within 6 feet of others. The Logan County Department of Public Health (LCDPH) can be notified if any businesses or organizations are not requiring masks of patrons or employees while inside the building. It is important for the public to notify LCDPH if they see violations so that LCDPH can work with the business or organization on what they should do. If a business is a repeat offender then the LCDPH will make proper notifications to have applicable licenses revoked and take further legal action as necessary.

Logan County Department of Public Health can be contacted at (217) 735-2317.
