Wolf Road in Des Plaines faces temporary closures

Temporary, daytime lane closures on Wolf Road in Des Plaines are scheduled this week as work begins to rebuild the bridge carrying the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) over the local road. This work is part of the I-90 Rebuilding and Widening Project scheduled to be complete in 2016.

Weather permitting, on Monday, March 23, daytime lane closures, including intermittent full closures of the roadway lasting no longer than 15 minutes each, are scheduled in both directions on Wolf Road under I-90 for removal of bridge beams. Electronic message signs will be put in place in advance to alert drivers to the daytime closures.

Daytime lane closures on Wolf Road will begin after 9 a.m. on Monday, closing one lane in both directions under I-90. Temporary, full closures of the roadway are scheduled between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., with all lanes reopening by 3 p.m. ahead of the evening rush hour.

The I-90 project also will impact Golf Road, Arlington Heights Road, Busse Road, Oakton Street, Mount Prospect Road, Touhy Avenue, Mannheim Road and Higgins Road, with shoulder closures, traffic shifts and short-term lane reductions.

Work includes completion of noise wall and retaining wall construction, utility relocations and drainage improvements.
