Proposed plan for the neighborhood park at Nature at the Confluence in South Beloit, IL

Friday's news from Rockton, Roscoe and South Beloit - and that's what you'd expect from Rockton-Roscoe News on Friday. Other news outlets offer news on Friday too, but usually not about the place where you live.

Possibly you heard it here first. Andy Pirrello of Winnebago County Highway Department announced yesterday, "The intersection of McCurry Road and Love Road, located just East of Interstate 90 in Roscoe, will start operating as a 4-way stop intersection on Tuesday, September 16, 2025. Traffic approaching the intersection from all directions will have to fully stop before proceeding across. Please pay attention to the changing conditions, use utmost caution and obey traffic control signs."
