Grand Avenue in Gurnee to close for several days beginning Thursday
Grand Avenue (Route 132) east of Skokie Highway (Route 41) in Gurnee will be closed for several days, weather permitting, beginning Thursday, July 9.

A detour will direct traffic to Skokie Highway, Washington Street and Green Bay Road (Route 131). The work is expected complete by 5 a.m. Monday, July 13.
The overall project consists of removal and replacement of the Union Pacific Railroad bridge, pavement reconstruction and widening of Grand Avenue.
