Hoffman Estates, IL – Drivers in Hoffman Estates should plan for detours this week as Shoe Factory Road closes for several days of railroad track repairs.
According to the Village of Hoffman Estates, the roadway will be shut down between Beverly Road and Sutton Road beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 15. Officials with Canadian National Railway expect the project to be completed by 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20.
Motorists will need to use alternate routes while the work is underway. The official detour directs drivers west to Beverly Road, north to Higgins Road (Route 72), and east via Sutton Road (Route 59). Signs will be posted in the area to guide traffic.
The repairs are expected to improve the rail crossing’s safety and durability, but village officials caution that traffic congestion may increase on nearby roads during peak commute hours.
Residents are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and check the Village of Hoffman Estates website for updates and a full detour map.
