Dupage Policy Journal

Overnight roadway closures and detours are scheduled next week on Grand Avenue underneath the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) in Franklin Park to accommodate bridge beam placement for reconstruction and widening of the Central Tri-State Tollway.

Full roadway closures and detours are necessary to safely provide a work zone as the Tollway rebuilds the I-294 bridge carrying traffic over Grand Avenue. Electronic message signs and construction signage will be put in place in advance to alert drivers. Up-to-date closure information will be posted on the Tollway website in the Daily Construction Alert. All work is weather dependent.

On Monday, March 27, beginning at 7 p.m. and continuing until 6 a.m. Tuesday, March 28, lane closures are scheduled in both directions on Grand Avenue between Northwest Avenue and County Line Road, with detours scheduled to begin at 9 p.m.

Detours for both eastbound and westbound Grand Avenue traffic will be posted during the overnight roadway closures:

• Westbound Grand Avenue traffic will be detoured south on Mannheim Road (U.S. Route 12/U.S. Route 45), west on North Avenue (Illinois Route 64) and north on Kingery Highway
  (Illinois Route 83) to access westbound Grand Avenue.
• Eastbound Grand Avenue traffic will be detoured south on Kingery Highway (Illinois Route 83) via the Lake Street on ramp and then east on North Avenue (Illinois Route 64) and north on
  Mannheim Road (U.S. Route 12/U.S. Route 45) to access eastbound Grand Avenue.

If bridge beam removal work cannot be completed during this time, additional nights of closures and detours will be scheduled overnight during the week of March 27.
