Naperville, IL – Drivers in Naperville should prepare for a major road closure starting Monday, December 16, as Book Road shuts down between 75th Street and 83rd Street for long-term pipeline construction tied to the WaterLink Project.
According to the City of Naperville, the closure will restrict through traffic along Book Road, with local access only permitted between 75th Street and Rickert Drive once work begins. The project is part of a regional water infrastructure improvement led by the DuPage Water Commission and is expected to continue with additional closures through 2027.
Detour routes have been posted directing drivers east to 248th Avenue and west to Route 59 to navigate around the affected area. Commuters are advised to allow extra travel time, particularly during morning and evening rush hours.
The WaterLink Project aims to enhance water delivery reliability for Naperville and neighboring communities including Montgomery, Oswego, and Yorkville.
