Special Traffic Alert – April 10 - Northfield/Old Willow Road

IDOT is instituting a new traffic configuration today which further impacts the Northfield Road intersection.  The north lanes of Northfield/Old Willow Road will remain open but the left hand turn lane from Willow Road onto Old Willow/Northfield will be under construction.  Motorists can still make left turns, but will have to do so from the through lane.  The traffic signal timing is being adjusted to help minimize the impacts and local traffic is urged to use Wagner Road as an alternative.   The left turn limitations are anticipated to be in effect for one week.
