Southbound Route 25 In Geneva Closes For Storm Sewer Construction

GENEVA, IL — A segment of Route 25 in Geneva is closed Wednesday due to construction at the intersection of East State Street, city officials said.

Crews are installing storm sewer laterals at the intersection as part of the East State Street reconstruction project. Work was scheduled to start at 6 a.m. and is expected to be finished by the afternoon, according to a news release.

This detour is in place for southbound traffic: west on Route 38, south on Route 31 and east on Fabyan Parkway to reconnect with Route 25. Drivers on Route 38 cannot turn south onto Route 25 and must follow the detour.

Northbound Route 25 and the current traffic lane layout on East State Street will remain open during Wednesday's construction.

Drivers should expect delays and may want to use alternate routes, officials said. Flaggers will be present to direct traffic as needed.
