IL 53 Patching, Resurfacing Will Require Lane Closures

ROMEOVILLE, IL – Illinois 53, from Joliet Road in Romeoville to south of Interstate 55 in Bolingbrook, will require daily, intermittent and occasional overnight lane closures for patching and resurfacing, the Illlinois Department of Transportation announced Monday. Lane closures will begin this week.

The project, which also includes constructing new ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps, is expected to be completed in late October. Access to residences and businesses within the work zone will be maintained throughout construction, according to IDOT.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment, IDOT said.
