Portions of 75th Street, Lemont Road Down to One Lane

The DuPage County Department of Transportation expects to close lanes as of today on 75th Street. Lemont Road traffic will also be reduced through lane closures at the intersection of 75^th Street while turn lanes are being constructed.

Starting today, Monday, 75th Street will be reduced to one lane in each direction from just east of Dunham Road to Lyman Avenue.

Lemont Road will also be reduced to one lane in each direction for up to one-half mile north and south of 75^th Street.  A left turn lane will also be open in each direction at the 75^th Street / Lemont Road intersection.  The lane closures may be extended west along 75^th Street on a daily basis. 

The county is currently reconstructing 75^th Street from I-355 to Lyman Avenue. The project entails widening 75^th Street from two lanes in each direction to three lanes between Woodward and Lyman Avenues. Additional road work includes:

• Resurfacing 75^th Street between I-355 and Lyman Avenue in addition to Woodward Avenue and Lemont Road;
• Constructing new right turn lane and dual left turn lanes on 75^th Street at Lemont Road;
• Install new storm sewers, concrete curb, gutters and traffic lights;
• Constructing a bike path along the south side of 75^th Street between Woodward and Lyman Avenues; and
• Replacing existing landscape barrier median.

Access to sidestreets and businesses is expected to be maintained throughout the construction period. 

This stage of the project is scheduled to last up to three weeks.
