Streets Closed Around Chicago Premium Outlets On Black Friday: PD

AURORA, IL — Black Friday deals are underway in Aurora. To help with traffic congestion at the Chicago Premium Outlet Mall, two nearby roads are closed to traffic until 9 p.m. Friday, Aurora police said.

Corporate Boulevard and Bilter Road, both spanning from Church Road to Farnsworth Avenue, closed to traffic at 6 a.m. As a result of traffic, police said there may be rolling road closed on Farnsworth Avenue throughout the day.

The best way to enter the mall, located at 1650 Premium Outlet Boulevard, from the south is off the I-88 tollway. Drivers should take the Farnsworth Avenue exit, drive north and turn right into the mall's entrance, according to police.

Shoppers coming from the north have to turn left onto Bilter Road and use the mall's entrance from there. In a post on Facebook, police said drivers won't be allowed to turn left into the mall from Farnsworth Avenue.

The mall reached capacity around 1:30 p.m. prompting the police to close the entrances, officials said on Facebook. The mall reopened entrances as of 2 p.m.

Police said drivers should check in with the police department's Twitter, @AuroraPoliceIL, for updates on traffic and road closures.
