On Monday, June 16, 2014 IDOT will be closing the northern intersection of Willow Road and Wagner by Middlefork School. The intersection will be closed to allow for final utility connections and pavement installation. It is anticipated to remain closed for two weeks. Local traffic will be detoured to the Old Willow/Northfield Road intersection.

During the detour period the Village will:
- 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 on local streets to reduce speeding and cut through traffic; and,
- ensure emergency responses routes are maintained to all part of the community for police, fire and ambulance access.
Detailed construction work and current traffic conditions can be tracked at http://northfieldwillowroad.blogspot.com/ ; through Facebook at Willow Road Construction Project; or through Twitter at @willowroadcp. Please note that the actual start dates and activities may change due to weather or other conflicts. #willowroadcp
