Traffic shifts in both directions are scheduled on Interstate 88 between the Aurora Toll Plaza and Route 59 as part of ongoing roadway maintenance and repair work, Illinois Tollway officials said.
Electronic message signs and construction signage are in place throughout construction to alert drivers to scheduled lane closures, traffic patterns and work zone speed limits, officials said.
On I-88 between the Aurora Toll Plaza and the EJ&E Railroad Bridge, traffic has been returned to normal configurations, officials said. However, shoulders remain closed and off-peak lane closures will continue in the area throughout this week to complete work in this section.
During the week of Nov. 2, between the EJ&E Railroad Bridge and Route 59 on I-88, a new traffic shift will be put in place with three lanes of traffic shifted to the outside in both directions. Traffic is scheduled to remain in this configuration through spring as work continues including the removal and replacement of the I-88 westbound bridge over the Illinois Prairie Path, as well as roadway drainage, barrier wall and shoulder work, officials said.
All work is scheduled for completion by fall of 2021.
While the work zones are in place, three lanes of traffic will be maintained for drivers, officials said. However, additional temporary lane closures will be scheduled as needed to complete repairs.
