Plenty of Road Construction to Hit Oswego Streets This Week

OSWEGO, IL — More traffic construction is coming to the streets of Oswego this week.

On Nov. 1, the traffic signal control cabinet at the IL-71/US-34/Wolf's Crossing intersection will be removed and replaced, according to the village. This will require that the intersection will become a four-way stop with either stop signs or flashing red lights. The work will begin at 9 a.m and will take most, if not all, of the day.

On Nov. 2, paving will start milling on Douglas Road between US 34 and Wolf’s Crossing.

Wednesday through Friday will see the activation of new signals at IL-71 and Washington, Grove and Plainfield, IL-71 and Forest, IL-71 and Douglas and IL-71 and Orchard.

Tuesday through Saturday will see pavement marking, signing, pcc concrete, bituminous and other activities on IL-71. Lanes of traffic may be switched from the inside lane to the outside lane and back again to allow for work.

The Village advises residents to find alternative routes as delays are expected.
