Bradley, IL – Drivers in Bradley should prepare for traffic disruptions this week as multiple road closures are set to impact key routes near Route 50.
According to the Bradley Police Department, Nicor Gas and subcontractor NPL are conducting a gas main replacement project in the alley between Bradley Boulevard (Route 50) and LaSalle Avenue, just north of North Street. The work is part of an ongoing infrastructure improvement effort and is expected to continue over several days.
Officials said Liberty Street between South LaSalle Avenue and South Bradley Boulevard (Route 50) is scheduled to close beginning Tuesday, with the closure possibly extending through Wednesday. Later in the week, East Broadway Street between South LaSalle Avenue and South Bradley Boulevard will close starting Thursday and may continue into Friday.
The closures are expected to affect daily commutes, particularly for drivers who rely on Route 50 and surrounding streets. Local authorities are urging motorists to use caution when traveling near the construction zones and to consider alternate routes to avoid delays.
While no injuries or emergency incidents have been reported in connection with the project, officials emphasized that the closures are necessary to safely complete the gas line upgrades. The improvements are intended to enhance service reliability and maintain infrastructure safety in the area.
Residents and commuters are encouraged to stay alert for signage and follow posted detours throughout the duration of the work. الشرطة presence may also increase in the area to assist with traffic flow and ensure public safety.
Drivers should expect intermittent delays and plan extra travel time through the end of the week as construction continues.
