Main Street In Skokie To Close For Road Work

Westbound Main Street will be closed periodically Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

SKOKIE, IL — Roadwork will periodically close Main Street to westbound traffic this week, the Village of Skokie announced. On Oct. 25-26, the Skokie Public Works Department plans to work on restoring the roadway as a result of repairs to a water main on Main Street between Skokie Boulevard and Niles Center Road. Westbound Main Street will be closed intermittently at Skokie Boulevard between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. each day.

During times when it's closed, traffic will be detoured south to Searle Parkway, then west to Niles Center Road and back to Main Street.

The Village strongly encouraged drivers to avoid that part of westbound Main Street and try to find alternate routes. Restoration is expected to be finished by the end of the day Thursday.
