The $1.7 million IDOT project will include road patching and resurfacing along portions of I-53 and will continue through late September.
ROMEOVILLE, IL — Local drivers have some Route 53 lane closures to look forward to after they return from the Memorial Day weekend after the Illinois Department of Transportation announced a road resurfacing project in Romeoville on Friday.
The agency said that patching and resurfacing work on Illinois 53 between University Parkway and Romeo Road (135thStreet) will cause intermittent daytime lane closures starting Tuesday, weather permitting.
The $1.7 million project, which also includes constructing new ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps and installing rumble strips, is expected to be completed in late September. Access to residences and businesses within the work zone will be maintained throughout construction, IDOT officials said.
