UTICA – A voluntary evacuation yesterday in parts of the village of Utica ahead of the crest of the Illinois River had few seeking higher ground, this as the river rose to what may end up being the fourth major flood in a dozen years. The river rose to 14 foot above flood stage, coming three foot shy of the all time record in 2013, where many homes and businesses were damaged in the community. Dee Bennett Road remains closed as does the lower lots of Starved Rock State Park. The Lock and Dam visitors center also remains closed.
