Lombard, Illinois – Lead service line investigations will close sections of Main Street in Lombard March 9–10.
According to the Village of Lombard, Public Works crews will conduct lead service line investigations along North Main Street on Monday, March 9, and Tuesday, March 10, weather permitting. The work will require temporary lane closures and posted detours during daytime operations.
On Monday, March 9, southbound Main Street will be closed between West Prairie Avenue and West Grove Street. Drivers traveling south will be detoured west on Prairie Avenue, then north on Park Avenue, and east on Grove Street before returning to Main Street.
On Tuesday, March 10, crews will shift work zones to the northbound lanes of Main Street. The closure will affect the stretch between East View Street and East Pleasant Street. Northbound traffic will be redirected east on View Street, north on Charlotte Street, and west on Pleasant Street back to Main Street.
Village officials said the investigations are part of ongoing efforts to identify and evaluate potential lead service lines within the municipal water system.
Drivers traveling through the area should expect periodic congestion and slower traffic near the work zones. Officials are encouraging motorists to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and use alternate routes when possible.
The closures may affect local commuters, students, and workers who regularly use Main Street to travel through central Lombard.
Work schedules may change depending on weather or field conditions, the village said.
