The 2010 Plainfield Community St. Patrick's Day Parade is set for this Sunday, March 14th, at 1 PM. This will cause some traffic tie-ups and delays, especially around the Plainfield Central High School area. Unless you are participating in or viewing the parade, motorists are encouraged to avoid the downtown area and a portion of Route 126 between 12-30 and 3 PM on the 14th. Closings will include James Street from Fort Beggs Drive to Lockport Street, Lockport Street from Route 126 to Route 59, Illinois Street from Lockport Street to Commercial Street, Ottawa from Illinois to James, Chicago from Des Plaines to Fox River, and Des Plaines from Lockport to Ottawa. No Route 59 lanes will be shut down, but delays are expected.
