Wagner Road Detour Begins Friday Afternoon in Northfield

Below is a communication from the Village of Northfield. 

When school lets out Friday afternoon, the northern leg of the intersection of Willow Road and Wagner will be closed.  The closure is needed to facilitate the relocation and installation of utilities.  Construction crews will work longer hours and on the weekends to get the intersection re-opened by April 7.  Local traffic will be detoured to the Old Willow/Northfield Road intersection.

During the detour period the Village will closely monitor the Northfield Road intersection, and will request that IDOT make adjustments to the signal timing, if needed, to minimize traffic backups; provide special Police patrols to reduce speeding and cut through traffic; and ensure that emergency responses routes are maintained to all part of the community for police, fire and ambulance access.
