Nightly Lane Closures of Washington Street at BNSF Underpass Expected Tuesday, September 6 through Friday, September 9

Closures In Relation to Naperville Metra Station Platform Improvement Project

Work on Phase 3 of the Naperville Metra Station Platform Improvement Project is currently underway. In association with Phase 3 of the project, Metra has informed the City that nightly lane closures on Washington Street from 5th Avenue to North Avenue are slated to occur from Tuesday, September 6 through the morning of Friday, September 9, pending weather and unforeseen construction complications.

These lane closures will be in effect from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. on Washington Street from 5th Avenue to North Avenue. At least one travel lane will remain open at all times. Flagging operations will be in effect to guide traffic and ensure passage of emergency vehicles. Northbound and southbound motorists on Washington Street can expect to experience delays during this time, and motorists should allow additional time for their trip or seek an alternate route to avoid these delays. This work is weather dependent; notice of schedule changes will be posted to the City's website at www.naperville.il.us/metraplatform.aspx.

The Naperville Metra Station Platform Improvement Project involves removal and reconstruction of the north and south platforms of the Naperville Metra Station. Construction is slated for completion in 2012. For more information on the Naperville Metra Station Platform Improvement Project, visit the City's website at www.naperville.il.us/metraplatform.aspx.
