“All agencies involved understand the significance of this road closure,” Kane County Division of Transportation officials said in a Tuesday news release. “Unfortunately, the urgency and nature of the repairs allows for few alternatives and very short notice to address this critical safety issue.”

Motorists should expect “extraordinary traffic delays” for the duration of this work on all legs of the posted detour route and surrounding roadways, KDOT officials said. All motorists who are encouraged to drive around the regional area entirely. Motorists who cannot avoid this area should add considerable time to their expected travel schedules.
