Detour Alert – Happ Road

On Monday, June 22, 2014 IDOT plans to close the southern intersection of Willow Road and Happ Road to install the center roadway improvements.  The Happ Road intersection is expected to be closed for one week and is tentatively set to re-open on Saturday, June 27.   Traffic will be detoured west to Northfield Road and local traffic will be able to access the downtown on Walnut Street.

During the detour period the Village will:

• monitor the intersections, and will request signal timing adjustments, 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.
