Tinley Park, IL – Lane adjustments on 183rd Street beginning May 5 are expected to slow traffic near 80th Avenue.
According to the Village of Tinley Park Public Safety, traffic lanes in both directions on 183rd Street will be modified on or about Tuesday, May 5, as part of Will County’s ongoing roadway reconstruction project.
Officials said the construction sequencing at the intersection will temporarily eliminate dedicated left-turn lanes for eastbound and westbound drivers turning onto 80th Avenue. As a result, traffic signals will be adjusted to allow only one direction of traffic to move through the intersection at a time.
The changes apply specifically to traffic on 183rd Street and are expected to cause intermittent delays for drivers traveling through the area. Commuters may experience backups, particularly during peak travel times, as signal timing shifts to accommodate the revised traffic flow.
Will County officials said they are unable to provide a timeline for how long the delays will last but are coordinating with the village to minimize disruptions and restore normal traffic patterns as efficiently as possible.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and consider alternate routes if possible while construction remains active.
The intersection is a key corridor for local commuters and students traveling through Tinley Park, making the temporary changes especially relevant during daily travel periods.
