Temporary Ramp Closure on I-80 in Joliet

The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that pavement patching on the ramp from eastbound Interstate 80 to northbound Center Street, in Joliet, will require the temporary closure of the ramp, weather permitting, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 25.

Because of the short duration of the closure no detour will be posted.  Motorists are advised to use either the Larkin Avenue (Illinois 7) or Chicago Street (Illinois 53) exits as alternatives.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.
