Touhy Avenue Roadwork Leads to Intermittent Lane Closures

NILES, IL - Roadway pavement restoration kicked off this week for a key stretch of Touhy Avenue, and local officials are urging motorists to navigate around the area until activity subsides.

The work spans Touhy Avenue between Milwaukee and Caldwell avenues. The final phase of the construction of a water main along the corridor last year, the under way restoration is slated to be finished sometime Thursday, April 20.

"There will be intermittent lane closures as the work takes place," local officials said, in a community alert. "Please allow additional time when traveling through the area."

Drivers should also consider an adjacent Illinois Department of Transportation project involving the resurfacing of Harts Road from Milwaukee to Caldwell avenues. That work will remain ongoing until June.
