ROCHELLE – The Illinois Tollway is scheduled to begin repair work on local crossroad bridges carrying traffic over the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) including Mulford Road Bridge in Ogle County and Willrett Road and University Road bridges in DeKalb County.
Electronic message signs and construction signage will be put in place in advance to alert drivers to the start of construction and closures. When possible, the Tollway will stage construction so bridges can remain open to traffic during repairs. However, the full closure of some bridges is necessary because the local crossroad bridges over I-88 are too narrow to accommodate traffic while safely completing the work.
Mulford Road
On Monday, July 30, work is scheduled to begin at the Mulford Road Bridge. The bridge will close to traffic for one month. No detour will be posted.
During the weekend of Aug. 10, the University Road Bridge is scheduled to close for a month. A detour will be posted routing traffic to Keslinger Road, Shabbona Road and Malta Road.
In mid-August, Willrett Road Bridge is scheduled to close for a month. No detour will be posted.
