Stearns School Road bridge to close
Stearns School Road between Hunt Club Road and Dilleys Road in Gurnee will be closed for nine months beginning Monday, March 15, to accommodate construction of a new bridge over the Tri-State Tollway (I-94). Access to Gurnee Mills Mall off Stearns School Road will remain open. The 70-year old bridge is being replaced and will be closed to accommodate construction and reduce the work duration. The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, village of Gurnee and Lake County Division of Transportation are partnering in the project. The new bridge will provide for three lanes of traffic and added bicycle and pedestrian access. Traffic will be detoured to Dilleys Road, Grand Avenue (Route 132) and Hunt Club Road.
