Southern Willow-Northfield Rd. Intersection to Be Closed 5 Days

The following is from the Village of Northfield:

On Monday, September 22, 2014 NICOR will close the southern intersection of Willow Road and Northfield Road to relocate a gas main. The intersection will be closed for five days and will re-open on Saturday, September 27. Local traffic will be detoured east to Happ Road.

During the detour period the Village will closely monitor the Northfield Road intersection, and will request that IDOT make adjustments to the signal timing, if needed, to minimize traffic backups; provide special Police patrols to reduce speeding and cut through traffic; and ensure that emergency responses routes are maintained to all parts of the community for police, fire and ambulance access.

Please note that the actual start dates and activities may change due to weather or other conflicts. #willowroadcp
