Parts of Stearns Road closed for repair projects
Stearns School Road in Mill Creek has been closed after a culvert failure was found during a routine road inspection, officials said.
The Lake County Division of Transportation closed Stearns School Road on Thursday to through traffic from Hutchins Road to Hunt Club Road due to a failing culvert 1,300 feet east of Hutchins Road.
A signed detour will be in place until the repair is complete, but there is no current estimate for how long the repairs will take. Stearns School Road is also closed at the bridge over I-94 for an Illinois Tollway bridge project.
The culvert was aging and had been scheduled for replacement in 2023, according to a news release from Lake County.
