Overnight Lane Closures Continue Next Week for Center Lane Pavement Repairs
Intermittent pavement repairs continue next week on the North Tri-State Tollway (I-294/94), between Wolf Road and Russell Road. Work next week includes pavement patching northbound from Bradley Road to the Waukegan Toll Plaza. Pavement repairs will provide a smoother, safer ride for Tollway customers.
Center Lane Closes Week of October 3-7
The center northbound lane from Bradley Road to the Waukegan Toll Plaza will be closed for concrete pavement repairs. The lane will be closed from 5 a.m. on Monday, October 3, until noon on Friday, October 7, to allow the new concrete to set. The left shoulder will be opened and striped as a lane to provide three lanes of traffic during daytime hours while the center lane is closed. Traffic will travel in the left shoulder, left lane and right lane with the work zone in between, providing three lanes of traffic during daytime hours. Traffic in the left shoulder and left lane will not have access to exits. Traffic planning to exit at IL Route 176, IL Route 137, IL Route 21 or at IL Route 132 (Grand Avenue) must get in the right lane before the traffic split at Bradley Road in order to access these exits. Additional closures will be scheduled during overnight hours to complete the concrete repairs while traffic is lighter.
Additional Overnight Closures
Additional lanes will be closed overnight in the work zone to complete pavement repairs. The left lane will be closed overnight from Bradley Road to the Waukegan Toll Plaza, leaving the left shoulder and the right lane available between the hours of 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday, October 3. After 10 p.m., the left shoulder will also be closed, leaving only the right lane open overnight. Three lanes will be open by 5 a.m. on Tuesday, October 4, to minimize the impact to rush hour traffic.
The same closures are planned nightly through Thursday, October 6, following the same schedule.
